Send Up the Signal

Send up the signal
Call the Commissioner
Gallop through the night
Alert all your neighbors
Hang the tower lanterns
Let them see the light
We cannot escape this
No one is right
Put up those defenses
Bring a pitchfork to the fight

Can't erase history by pulling down a statue
Can't battle hatred by not letting someone speak
Can't kill ideology with bombs
Can't hear the confession of a witch, when she's already drowned

After the snow
The sapling will grow
After the flood
the soul learns

Train on a platform
Arms hanging out
Reaching for a hand
Not a sound from your mouth
Packed inside a boxcar
Train rolls out
We cannot escape this
There is no light
Put up those defenses
Disappear into the night
Can't erase history, you can only change minds
Spit off a cliff, it'll blow back in your eye
Can't fight inequality with lies
Can't change a frog into a Monarch Butterfly

After the snow
The sapling will grow
After the flood
The soul learns to love
We strip away the mud

Matador in gold
Elephant in blue
Estoque and Muleta
Nettipattam and daant
Packed into a bullring
No possible detente

Send up the signal
Send up the signal
Send up the signal
