Lyrics
They wear us down until the blood starts flowing
Enduring pressure until injuries and violence occur
Instituting a campaign of fear
Initiating a strategy to instill fear
Try to break us but the anger's growing
Attempting to weaken us, but our anger is intensifying
Pushing back against the crush it's clear that
Resisting and pushing back against oppressive force, evident
They're getting ruthless now
The oppressors are becoming more aggressive
Make no excuses
No justifications or apologies will be given
We will be ruthless now
We will respond with equal aggression now
Give back the bruises
Returning the harm inflicted upon us
They wear us down until the blood starts flowing
Reiteration of wearing down until bloodshed begins
Instituting a campaign of fear
Implementing a strategy of inducing fear
Try to break us but the anger's growing
Efforts to break our spirit, but our anger is escalating
Pushing back against the crush it's clear there's
Resisting and opposing the oppressive force, clear determination
No peace
Emphasizing the absence of peace
No love
Highlighting the absence of love
No compromise
Stating a refusal to compromise
Relentlessly we're pushing through the flood
Persistently pushing forward despite challenges
Holding fast against each new attack
Holding strong against each new attack
Never resting, always thinking
Continuous vigilance and contemplation
"Who will save us when the water turns black?"
Pondering who will save us from impending darkness
Who will save us when the water's black?
Reiterating the concern for salvation in times of despair
They're getting ruthless now
Observing an increase in aggressiveness from the oppressors
Make no excuses
No justifications or apologies will be given
We will be ruthless now
Responding with increased aggression
Give back the bruises
Retaliating and returning the harm received
The power of our resistance lies in our resilience and compassion
Strength of resistance lies in resilience and compassion
But compassion doesn't equal submission and we will not back down
Compassion does not mean surrender; firm stance against oppression
And we will not accept the normalization of brutality
Rejecting the normalization of brutality
Try not to sink, I know you're tired
Encouraging someone not to give in to exhaustion
I know you're tired
Acknowledging weariness, shared fatigue
'Cause I am tired
Expressing personal tiredness, possibly from the struggle
