You Cant See Black In The Dark (feat. Ian Kenny) Songtext
Been here longer than time
And our blood's soaked into the earth below
I can still see the line
Kept us separated from each other, that's the way it was
In '67 my name
Was recognised, but do you recognise the pain?
Are you released from your shame?
While our kids are locked up like a dog inside a cage
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
And our blood's soaked into the earth below
I can still see the line
Kept us separated from each other, that's the way it was
In '67 my name
Was recognised, but do you recognise the pain?
Are you released from your shame?
While our kids are locked up like a dog inside a cage
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
We're burning but we never struck a match
We're gonna make a fire from this spark
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
Another three years gone
Still, you rape the land that you've been stealing from
Digging into her soul
Like our mother's nothing to you but a handful of coal, yeah
All we own is time
All I hear is talk about the bottom line
Have a look at the crimes
Left our sons and daughters dying before their time (Dying before their time)
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
We're burning but we never struck a match
We're gonna make a fire from this spark
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
We're burning but we never struck a match
We're gonna make a fire from this spark Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
Now I sleep with one eye open
Can I let go of the past?
Shining bright, and I won't stop
Faster than the speed of light into the black (Woo!)
You can't see black in the dark
You can't see black in the dark
You can't see black in the dark
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
(You can't see black in the dark)
We're burning but we never struck a match
(You can't see black in the dark)
We're gonna make a fire from this spark
(You can't see black in the dark)
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
We're gonna make a fire from this spark
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
Another three years gone
Still, you rape the land that you've been stealing from
Digging into her soul
Like our mother's nothing to you but a handful of coal, yeah
All we own is time
All I hear is talk about the bottom line
Have a look at the crimes
Left our sons and daughters dying before their time (Dying before their time)
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
We're burning but we never struck a match
We're gonna make a fire from this spark
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
We're burning but we never struck a match
We're gonna make a fire from this spark Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
Now I sleep with one eye open
Can I let go of the past?
Shining bright, and I won't stop
Faster than the speed of light into the black (Woo!)
You can't see black in the dark
You can't see black in the dark
You can't see black in the dark
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
I'm not blinded by the sins of the past
(You can't see black in the dark)
We're burning but we never struck a match
(You can't see black in the dark)
We're gonna make a fire from this spark
(You can't see black in the dark)
Gonna light it up, you can't see black in the dark
