The Smell of Ancient Dust
Inherited Legacy of Resistance: The Smell of Ancient Dust
Lyrics
This that rests inside us,
This refers to an intrinsic element within individuals.
The innate ability to resist.
The inherent capability to oppose or defy.
Ability generations learned,
Abilities passed down through generations.
A mistrusting hatred centuries earned,
Deep-seated animosity accumulated over centuries.
The knowledge of the flung projectile,
Awareness of using thrown objects as weapons.
The cleansing power of the burning street,
The purifying impact of societal unrest and upheaval.
The loathing of the ruling hand,
Intense dislike for authoritative control.
The crackers gaze,
The scrutinizing gaze of oppressors.
The constructed grip.
The deliberate and controlled hold on power.
Your birthright accessed,
Accessing what is rightfully inherited.
The suffering that picks the lock,
Suffering as a means to unlock potential or resistance.
A bank of knowledge a skill a gift.
An accumulation of knowledge, skills, and gifts.
Comfort has led us to this hibernation
The state of ease has led to a dormant or inactive phase.
The struggle, less visible, has allowed us to forget.
The ongoing struggle, though not apparent, has led to forgetfulness.
But rouse, stir,
Awaken, arouse, and become active.
Reach for projectiles
Embrace the use of projectiles or weapons.
This is a hatred you were born for,
This intense animosity is part of one's inherent nature.
A dignity to flaunt.
A prideful display of one's inherent dignity.
A health that is in you,
An inherent well-being or strength within.
The inherited legacy,
The legacy inherited from the past.
That will trigger your ability to revolt.
A trigger that prompts the ability to rebel.
