ala.ni – lament for emmett till lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
mother, mother, you who bore
a son of sorrow, know
white washed justice sure will reap
more than it can ever sow

[chorus]
cry, cry, lynch
raise your fist
murder, murder, sear the land
in more than angry bands

[verse 2]
uncle, uncle, he who stood
facing lynchers’ eyes
a firm hand in jim crow’s dock of wood
meeting parading child

[chorus]
cry, cry, lynch
raise your fist
murder, murder, sear the land
in more than angry bands

[bridge]
tears, blood, and pain
should mix like rain
sorrow comes again
if i am dead (if i am dead)
at heaven’s gates (at heaven’s gates)
will i be free?
[verse 3]
people, people, you who swore
vengeance for this brutal hour
may your unity soar above strife
to avenge this young man’s life

[chorus]
cry, cry, lynch
raise your fist
murder, murder, sear the land
in more than angry bands
