Lyrics

Me the harbinger
With my foot down on the gas
Driving my black horsepower
Riding them too fast
Losing out my cargo
Flowers for love and death
Smell of sick and sweetly black angel's breath

And the wheels of the world won't stop for you to give us your reaction
And the mothers and the lovers won't hear what you have to say
Oppression and anger running in the blood of my ancestors
There is nothing I need but to know there is another way

Strains of organ melodies
O wither go my prayers
Once familiar faces
Changing rosaries of flowers
Watch them crushed underfoot
In the dirt and rain
By your guard of honour
And your precious bane
