Ashes In the Fall

A mass of hands press on the market window

Ghosts of progress dressed in slow death

Feeding on hunger and glaring through the promise

Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle

A mass of nameless at the oasis

That hides the graves beneath the master's hill

Are buried for drinking the river's water

While shackled to the the line at the empty well

This is the new sound, just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound over the new ground

This is the new sound, just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound over new ground

Listen to the fascist sing:

"Take hope here, war is elsewhere"

"You were chosen, this is god's land"

"Soon we'll be free of blot and mixture"

"Seeds planted by our forefathers hand"

A mass of promises begin to rupture

Like the pockets of the new world kings

Like swollen stomachs in Appalachia

Like the priest that fucked you as he whispered holy things

A mass of tears have transformed the stones now

Sharpened on suffering and woven into slings

Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress

Taking today what tomorrow never brings

This is the new sound, just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound over new ground

This is the new sound, just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound over the new ground

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

Ain't the new sound

Just like the old sound?

Look at the noose now

Over the, over the

Over the burning ground

Ain't it funny how the factory doors close

Round the time that the school doors close

Round the time that the doors of the jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

Ain't it funny how the factory doors close

Round the time that the school doors close

Round the time that 100,000 jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

Oasis

This is no oasis

This is the new sound, just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound over the new ground

This is the new sound, just like the old sound

Just like a noose wound over the new ground

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall

Like ashes in the fall
