Red & Black

We're all holding to the pillars when the debris falls from every crack
Coughing, wheezing, bleeding out, but pass the blunt at every chance
Paint the town in red and black, with 1312 on every mask
Though you might try to hold us back, we'll paint the town in red and black

I saw in Berlin, the city's burning
Saw the heavy boots were marching on their necks
Said who are you serving? They couldn't tell me
Saw the empty look right in their eyes
I saw their moral compass spinning as they sharpened their knives

And now that Køpi dies, and it's privatized
They can market your existence
And when they advertise another sacrifice
Will you question our extinction?
I saw another child die, I saw the merchandise
So can you look me in the eye and say the cops are on our side?

We're all holding to the pillars when the debris falls from every crack
Coughing, wheezing, bleeding out, but pass the blunt at every chance
Paint the town in red and black, with 1312 on every mask
Though you might try to hold us back, we'll paint the town in red and black

We're all holding to the pillars when the debris falls from every crack
Coughing, wheezing, bleeding out, but pass the blunt at every chance
Paint the town in red and black, with 1312 on every mask
Though you might try to hold us back, we'll paint the town in red and black

Will we last
Another bludgeoning?
A crowd is formed around the corpse
Stand witness to the suffering
Sound the horns, lay crowns of thorns
Astounding, cops are shovelling
Their thoughts and prayers, they sort of care
I don't believe it
Set us back, I swear they can't try
Another act
My comrades won't forget the facts
Hang us pig our necks won't snap
We'll push up ground on every map
Yeah you might try to hold us back
We'll paint the town in red and black
