The night our eyes changed Rooms where, love was made and un-made in a flash of the night Rooms where, memories drowned in fumes of poison Rooms where, futures were planned and the imagination of children built castles in the sky Rooms where, both the extraordinary and the mundane were lived Become forever tortured graves of ash Oh you political class, so serve out to corporate power Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? This corporate manslaughter will haunt you Now hear 'em scream Words can not express Please allow me to begin though 1:30am heard the shouting from my window People crying in the street SongtexteWatchin' the burning of their kinfolk Grenfell Tower, now historically a symbol People reaching, from their windows Screaming, for their lives Pleading, with the cries Tryna reason with the skies Dale youth birthed champions Comparison is clear though That every single person in the building was a hero So don't judge our tired eyes in these trying times 'Cause we be breathing in cyanide, the entire night They say Yasin saw the fire and he ran inside Who'd thought that would be the site where he and his family died The street is like a graveyard, tombstones lurching over us Those shouting out to their windows, now wish they never woke them up Wouldn't hope your worst enemy to go in this position Now it's flowers for the dead and printed posters for the missing, come home Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? This corporate manslaughter will haunt you Now hear 'em scream I see trauma in the faces of all those that witnessed this Innocence in the faces of all those on the missing list See hopes unfulfilled Ambitions never achieved No I'm not the only one that sees the dead in my dreams Strive for the bravery of Yasin, artistic gift of Khadija Every person, a unique blessing to never be repeated Strive for the loyalty of siblings that stayed behind with their parents Pray that every loved one lost can somehow make an appearance We are, calling like the last conversations with their dearest Until we face, what they face we will never know what fear is We are, calling for survivors rehoused in the best place Not to be left sleeping in the West Way for 10 days We're, calling for arrests made and debts paid In true numbers known for the families that kept faith We're, calling for safety in homes of love They are immortalised forever, the only ghosts are us I wonder Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? This corporate manslaughter will haunt you Now hear 'em scream Olooli win arooh Nas a'am tehtere'a fe sa'at sahoor Ahess ennee be alam tanee Ahess ennee be alam tanee Olooli win arooh Nas a'am tehtere'a fe sa'at sahoor Ahess ennee be alam tanee Ahess ennee be alam tanee To whom it may concern, at the Queen's royal borough of Kensington in Chelsea.
