Songs of Longing - Together Forever

I will say I will love you forever

But the fear in my eyes holds the pain that I hide

I will say that I won’t leave you ever

But the way that my mind is rebelling inside

You think you’re good and kind but no you’re not

You have power over me

But your power over me will rot

You think you’re fair and just but you’re not

All the people that you killed

All the people who have not forgot

———

My spirit will break free

Of the cage you made me

My people, come rising

We will be surprising

You won’t rule for always

Your large, empty hallways

Will swarm with the people

Your turn to be fearful

———

I will be a meek and grateful lover

But the rage in my soul it will burn us both whole

I will hide the ways that I am clever

But the keys to the world from your neck I have stole

You think you’re great and grand, but you’re dust

You have power over us

But your power over us will rust

You think you’re beautiful but you’re dust

All the bruises that you left

All the bruises that will paint your crust

———

My spirit will break free

Of the cage you made me

My people, come rising

We will be surprising

You won’t rule for always

Your large, empty hallways

Will swarm with the people

Your turn to be fearful

———

I spent so many years wanting death

But you will never take my last breath

I spent so many lives wanting more

But I never had life to hope for

But now I hope for far more than life

I hope to be the darkness-cloaked knife

I hope to be the knife in your back

That will return what my people lack

We need rest, peace, respect, and freedom

We can create a new kingdom come

We can create the whole world anew

And there will be nothing you can do

———

My spirit will break free

Of the cage you made me

My people, come rising

We will be surprising

You won’t rule for always

Your large, empty hallways

Will swarm with the people

Your turn to be fearful

———

Whether in life or death I’ll be

Away from your proclivity

Whether in life or death I’ll be

The secret that I am truly
