lyrics

Men made a world
into which you did not fit
could not be hammered into it
like lead, like tin
though jackdaws screamed into your mind
and jackals mocked your name
you did not deny your god - your word – for any man
when they stripped you of your garments
and put you to the flame
they burned your bones
you turned to smoke
you rose again.
You spoke your truth, you stirred it up
though haters called you traitor, spat into your mouth
you forgave them, you outlived them
by your epitaph: your laugh
and when you'd breathed your last
we took you off your cross
we burned your bones
you turned to smoke
you rose again.
Some said that you once loved or you were loved
love flowered like a fire
and then it burned down to the stem
you took the pain, you put the stick between your teeth
you bit, you screamed
into the black eye of the sun
you slept alone
in a bed that boiled with ghosts
rats inside your chest
you cried out in the darkness
you comforted yourself
you died that night
when you awoke
they’d burned your bones
you turned to smoke
you rose again.
They cannot break you
you will bend
you are beholden only to the wind
no cell within remains unchanged
from the morning you were born
every molecule of blood inside your veins
has known its own regeneration
you are protean, ever changing
this is what you are
and what you are
will be transformed
when this all ends
we’ll burn your bones
you’ll turn to smoke
you’ll rise again.
