Lyrics

Weaving past futures
And not yet threads of a story
Ending in the present
Always late arriving
Who holds our stories?
Who takes our land?
Who knows what happened?
Who knows what happened?
In South Carolina
In New York, in Palestine, in Iran
Who knows what happened?
Post-ponder chaos
A light at the end of what can't be illuminated
No stars under our feet
A revolving core
A fire coming back
Who knows the story?
Who knows what happened?
In Ethiopia
In Nigeria
In the so-called Middle East
Who knows what happened?
Who holds our stories?
Who took our land?
Land back
We want our land back
Eyes closed, peace, mind eye forecast
Storm coming, casino dry-ice smoke
The tanks go by, tossing coins at the dead
Same side of the coin
We are on the same side of the coin
Clueless, on sale, outdated and made of plastic
Well, at least we've been to the moon
At least we are starting to remember the stories
Who knows the story?
