Ezra Furman - Book Of Our Names lyrics
[Ezra Furman - Book Of Our Names lyrics]
None of them missing, none quite the same
None of us ashes, all of us flames
And I want us to read it aloud
I want it to tell of our exile here
In a cruel machinery
Our bodies between the gears
And our world back home just
The ghost of a prayer
And I want us to read it aloud
I want us to read it aloud
And our names will be
Heard through prison walls
Through wet city streets
And international calls
And we'll read it until
This whole empire falls
And then we will continuе to read it
And the names will bе the
Real ones that are ours
Not the ones given us by the enemy powers
But the ones that we know in
Our bones and our bowels
And they'll be said out loud and repeated
Yes, I want there to be a book of our names
None of us missing, none exactly the same
None of us ashes, all of us flames
And I want us to read it aloud
I want us to read it aloud
