This Sentence Is Forbidden
Perverting law and order, these words have been forbidden The animosity we harbor taken as guilt-ridden admission Enforcing decrees, stolen keys & burnt degrees Stifling pleas, we can't resist or appease Held beaten shackled and gory Judges wrath and fury Silenced jury Who's left to witness the Executions One day all our people will be free We've prayed, bring the opposers to their knees Untamed, knotted roots of olive trees It's time for you to know that which you've sown has come to reap Muffled mics withholding strikes, moguls gag the cameraman Our history's wiped, they've won the right, gravestone flowers flagged as contraband Divert and redact, plan of attack to distract Mobilized to extract, ransack and transact Who reports our dispossession? Script' in aggression No attention Every accusation A confession One day all our people will be free Fresh graves, no eulogy fit for tv Outraged, sacred grounds grant no mercy Can't hide the muted cries or tearstained eyes of those that weep A blaze at night wields the scythe, ashes fuming paradigm Consumed by blight, rot, hunger and strife! the Titanomachy of our time! At Titan's summit, zealots shovel and plummet Wasted puppets, stuffed gullets they covet Ceaseless shroud seeps lingers and chokes Stealing words from our throats Wrung by the ropes Voiceless to object to Strangulation One day all our people will be free Disobey, make the occupiers flee Night wanes, beams of sunlight cross the seas Just get it through your skull a hollow soul will never sleep One day all our people will be free Wounded prey makes for deadly detainees Split chains, our resurgence unforeseen This time we're gonna show you can't control what words we speak We say all our people will be freed You'll pay, can't hide your sins under debris Keen gaze toward certain victory It's time for you to go this is our home we won't retreat Every sentence left unwritten has now been forbidden This time we're gonna show you can't control what words we speak Your ledger's so crime ridden you'll never be forgiven! It's time for you to go this is our home we won't retreat! A final time you've been denied for Palestine you cannot keep!
