How I wish I was writing a made-up story
But that malaise has come
As the sweat runs
The sunbeam bursts on the wounds
Bursts and the flashes bring a hollow room
When will you come back?
Please, send us another note, son
I wanted to believe in a paradise, an afterworld
- Never could -
I wanted to hear the voice you've sacrificed for our freedom
Wanted to believe in a paradise
Cuz we never found you
We fondly cite you, fighter of the South
Along with that photo of you strangled with that rope
A caution: It wouldn't end there
So many exiles merely exist in one
A barbwire to tear
Your solidarity resisted duress, ache
All your demons were defied
For a more humane homeland for all of us
I wanted to believe in paradise, an afterworld
- Never could -
I wanted to hear your voice but never could
Wanted to believe in paradise
Cuz we never found you
As the blackness corrodes
A dad digs a bottomless hole.
