we never saw you coming
we never saw you there
no explanations
or things to prepare
we don't believe in myths
or fairy tales
there were no symbols
or signs to beware
but you, you came at night
you, all dressed in light
offering us safety
offering us free
when you were the ones
who wanted to invade me
you wear no faces
you bear burning flames
imperial take over
try to take our name
& we stand to defend
where are feet are placed
we refuse
eradication of race
but you, you have no fear
you think everyone
will lay down here
rumbling machine
thunder aloud
pistols are drawn
firing at crowds
CAMI-SADO!
CAMI-SADO!
you never saw us coming
you never saw us there
we're not invisible
we claim our rights to bare
we believe in defending
our right to exist
there were no symbols
or signs to resist
& we, we fought at night
we, defend our rights
defending our safety
defending our free
defending ourselves from the ones
who wanted to invade me
CAMI-SADO
CAMI-SADO

When The City Sleeps
04:54

we run wild until our feet bleed
we bomb your streets
we grow up quickly to survive
we ride trains from low to high
we walk until the sun wakes up
we hang on the corners & run from cops
we leave our fingerprints on the granite
we find our purpose in the mission
we break tradition on cornerstones
we yell for the gloaming (mama im coming)
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps...
we grow in numbers as the hours pass
we spread like wildfire & plan your downfall
we are the last ones standing
after the collapse of the walls
we embrace night like an armor
our fathers look like our fathers
we stand to defend our honor
we never find any of the answers
we break tradition on cornerstones
we yell for the gloaming (papa im coming)
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps...
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching
when the city sleeps, we will be watching

In Search Of The Present

throw your cares into the sea
throw your fears into me
throw your weight to your feet
throw the earths to the meeks
throw your love to your friends
throw your start to the end
throw your doubt to the night
throw your mouth to the might
throw your strength to your fate
throw your check to the mate
throw your black to the light
throw your force to the fight
throw your wisdom to the weak
throw your goals to the peaks
throw your heart off your sleeve
throw your blood off your knees
where is your will to live
where is your will to love
cross out the pain
cross out the sign
this is the moment
we all escape
we're still here
still loud as the young
still bright as the sun
an army of one
still perfectly broken
still nervously spoken
still damaged & frantic
still a hopeful romantic
still poetic as the moon
still five in the afternoon
still shaping our heads
still loving the dead
still lamenting our lives
still sharpening our knives
still painting our face
still feeling displaced
still erratic as our breath
still accepting all of our deaths
still stealing your hearts
still bleeding our art
where is your will to live
where is your will to love
cross out the pain
cross out the sign
this is the moment
we all escape
we all escape
freedom
freedom
take my hand
take my hand
follow me home
follow me home
freedom
freedom
take my hand
take my hand
follow me home
follow me home
follow me home
follow me home

Oh No
05:22

blood drying as they go from door to door
have you seen them before?
eyes are two slits only painters can paint
do i need your permission to faint?
in the shadows of giants, stars explode
the skin is tearing to the bone
walk down the road with your name
when I cease to exist, who will you blame?
disguise your memories as happiness
escape in the thought of nothingness
i can see men marching in your eyes
taking your heart by surprise, by surprise
weep in holy places
oh no, oh no!
weep in holy places
oh no!
the riot squad is restless
they beat the daylight out of the sun, out of the sun
no one wants to know what's in the pockets of thieves
only the night can hear your pleas
watch every corner & every sign
christ & kerosene watch them shine, watch them shine
disguise your memories as happiness
escape in the thought of nothingness
i can see men marching in your eyes
taking your heart by surprise
weep in holy places
weep in holy places
oh no, oh no,
oh no, oh no!
weep in holy places
