One

I've come to know the taste of dirt
The rejection upon my tongue
Oh, I know my coat is black
I've been a threat since I was young

Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down

Turning, twisting of words
Tracing my essence towards the sun
Magic in my infancy
I was perfect, I was one

Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down

I break you with my nature
Mouth and volcano, one
My arms screaming with branches
(?)
Feeding upon my own flesh
Eyes fire with what I've won
Swallow you in tsunami
Wild forces overrun

I kiss the gift, I kiss the stone
And love the damage that's been done
A child's blood was drawn from me
My river drools communion

Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down

My body crushes yours now
I'm burning with the sun
Swallow you in tsunami
Wild forces overrun
Rise up girl, rise up
Speak your truth, speak your truth
Fear none and walk without shame

Remember, no more dying
No more dying
No more dying
No more dying
