Matriarch (Andrew Bayer & Elevven Remix)

Fear of the unknown

Watch
Watch where you lay
Might be where you stay
For the rest of your days
Dust
Dust fills the lungs
Silencing the loud, the outspoken

Never say 'til it's too late
Birth of a refugee
Perpetrators never pay the price
Of their short term processes

Oh-oh, nowhere to hide
When the air we breathe is murderous
Oh-oh, sleeping child
Lay your head
Close your eyes

Running, running, running fast
Through frozen rivers
Weighted fabric, out of breath
Sirens chanting in the wind

Fear of the unknown
Fades to black like a moon behind the clouds
Gunshots fill the air
Commander of silence
Every step taken
So close, so close
To the border's edge
Can you taste the freedom?

Every step taken
So close, so close
To the border's edge
Can you taste the freedom?
