Lyrics
Blackwood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say there is no hope for me
At least I know what I believe, and now I see
No longer will we be fooled
White skin, white teeth, black heart, black lungs
Sleeping on your stacks of millions as your followers struggle to overcome
Sickness, poverty, heartbreak, and hatred are dealt with every day
You can't relate
You can't remember a single name
Stare into a screen before you'll look them in the eyes
You'll never change a life until you know everything you say sounds like a lie
Blessed by the hands of God, or cursed by the tongue of the devil?
Who do you serve?
No more ignorance, no more complacency
Behind your white skin and white teeth lies a heart so black it makes the abyss look bright
You say there is no hope for me
If a rich man can't get into heaven, where will you dwell?
If a rich man can't ascend, will I see you in hell?
