Shanachie- "Last sip of breath"

Shanachie- "Last sip of breath"

I resurrect the dead so disciples of demons try to curse me/
My sound shakes the underground and makes the devil hell of nervy/
Struggle to stand sturdy/ Shackled, bound and set to burn me/
With the very same flame that first made the earth thirsty/
We drank till’ the last ocean went dry and the soil was dirty/

But from these lips slip words in thanks to she who nursed me/
So in the spirit of Marvin I pledge you to grant us Mercy/
For the self- inflicted sickness that makes us unworthy/
This verse be about as optimistic as the thirties /

No witness to testify and no sound that explode/
No car- bomb to shatter already broken homes/
Once the eruption erode/ It’s too late to hope/
There will be no bruises or broken bones/ but the silence alone/
Strong enough to kill the last seeds that have grown/

After decades of assault she’s now undergoing surgery/
Wounds deeper than the cuts that lead to perjury/
We stand guilty as charged while her weak body fights urgently/
But still refill that very poison liquid that first slipped into her system/

Only she will carry the load and yet it’s bound to implode/
When the heart no longer pumps and the blood runs cold/
Fuck diamonds and gold/ how can we build with neither sticks nor stones? /

This planet we inhabit dismantled and taken for granted/
Politicians refrain then pass the blame to the next maverick/
This ain’t nothing but a plea for forgiveness, if you will have it/
