Lady Liberty
Rising Storm: Lady Liberty's Cry
Lyrics
Storm is brewing on the Great Divide:
A conflict or trouble is imminent between opposing forces.
Tensions rising, so are the tides.
Tensions are escalating, mirroring the rising tides.
Scales tip society slides.
The balance in society is shifting, leading to a decline.
Mama said the Devil's been beatin' his bride.
A metaphorical expression suggesting immense turmoil or chaos.
God willing and the levee holds,
If circumstances align favorably, positive change may occur.
We'll stop trading her blood for gold.
Ending the exchange of human lives for material gain.
She'll give us back the life we sold
Hoping to regain what has been lost in pursuit of materialism.
And take us back into the fold.
To return to a more unified and morally sound state.
Everybody wants to dream like they'll live forever,
The desire for eternal life clashes with the harsh reality of mortality.
But we're dying today.
An acknowledgment of the impending demise despite aspirations.
Liberty is seeking refuge from the weather
Freedom and justice seeking refuge amid chaos and upheaval.
It's washing us all away.
The turmoil is affecting everyone profoundly.
Killing and stealing like it was a game.
Acts of violence and theft have become commonplace.
Tuning out just to try to stay sane.
Ignoring reality as a coping mechanism for maintaining sanity.
But every debt leaves a mark
Every wrongdoing leaves a lasting impact or consequence.
Every death leaves a stain.
Death carries an enduring mark on society.
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.
Acceptance of turmoil or cleansing, akin to a cathartic rain.
Come on, God, let the damn creek rise.
An appeal for a divine intervention to bring justice.
Drown them fools in their money and lies.
Desiring the downfall of corrupt individuals driven by greed and falsehoods.
Leave the world to the meek and wise,
Hoping for a world guided by humility and wisdom.
And let Lady Liberty dry her eyes.
An aspiration for justice and resolution for Lady Liberty.
God willing and the creek don't rise,
Similar to line 6, hoping for a positive outcome.
Lady Liberty will dry her eyes.
Continued hope for Lady Liberty's emotional recovery.
Pull that thorn outta her side,
Removing a source of pain or discomfort from Lady Liberty.
And cut that motherfucker down to size.
Rectifying or diminishing the impact of a malevolent force.
Sister, hold fast
An encouragement to persevere through the difficult times.
This storm can't last.
An affirmation that the turmoil will eventually come to an end.
