Mama I don't want to run away
|
You know that I could never stay
|
If this letter never reaches home
|
I wave goodbye to you and mei mei
|
|
You know the placards and the common way
|
You wore the hat that never fades
|
You know the hatred for the grave
|
Of everything you lost that day
|
|
The rice grows faster than the hands can cut it down
|
I can see it rising in the wind
|
Withered palaces will never stop the rain from falling
|
In between the cracks until the cracks turn into veins
|
Flowing through another reign
|
|
Don't fear the truth that holds the world away
|
Don't fly the flag that never waves
|
I saw a soldier with his gun
|
Listening to the v.o.a.
|
|
I curse the poster in the people's way
|
I curse the bottle to its grave
|
And even so I know this rage
|
Connects me with the ones I hate
|
|
Time will lay its peonies upon your bed
|
Fate will hold you helpless in its net
|
And like a quickly fading song
|
How soon the world forgets
|
|
