Lyrics

[Intro]
Two, ready
[Verse 1]
Billy and Jimmy gonna give me the spotlight
While I peel my face off the floor
Blessed in silence
Waiting for more
[Refrain]
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
[Verse 2]
Killing the villain, gonna dance in the moonlight
Injecting a spirit so pure
Blessed in silence
Waiting for more
[Refrain]
Stand by me (Won't you stand by me?)
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
[Bridge]
Living to die
Living to die
[Verse 3]
Turn off the light
Break the key off in the door
Our history of violence
Is the prophet of war (Prophet of war)
[Refrain]
Don't remind me (Of all my mistakes)
Don't remind me
Don't remind me (Oh, how my heart breaks)
Don't remind me
[Verse 4]
Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
Abolish borders, abolish ICE
Abolish all systems that keep Indigenous people from their natural vibrations
Indigenous people, take back what's yours
[Outro]
Now I'm fighting to live
Until I'm able to die
