lyrics

Black Flower

Something beautiful
Something dark
Something fragile
Something stark

Staring up at me
From the ground below
A lone Black Flower
Begins to show

Visions of a time
We could not see
Sparks of humanity
In the deep blue sea

Butterfly wings
Supersonic jets
Cause waves and waves
Of deep regrets

Momma told me
We are going to a better place
On a raft with the entire human race
But now I am face down on a sandy beach
Lying very still, is this a moment to teach?

Ships have come to these shores
Refugees fleeing wars
Label them with made up crimes
You are running out of time.

Thousands knock upon your door
But they may violate your law
Of open carry and Jesus Christ
The blood won't wash away so nice.

Will you just turn away?
What ever will or won't you say?
Turn into a black flower
If you think you have the power.

Time and time just marches on
We keep looking to the setting sun
A fireball in a dark red sky
Does it make you want to cry and cry?
