Refusal Lyrics

sister
I won't let you go
I won't let them take you
into the silence of a past divided
brother
keep teaching the power
we only move together
away from the past that made us fall apart

I refuse to run and I will die
before I kneel in this life

systems
of profits we punish
with love as our weapon
and unity
unity rebirth in fire

I refuse to run and I will die
before I kneel in this life

are we crucified
we defend our birthright
equality betrayed
and every hour a voice is lost
but every rage defies the cost
embrace the whole world as your kin
truth to truth and skin to skin
begin

searching for an end to the bullshit reactions
another way to separate us
and end to the bullshit of separation
another way to keep us from truth
