Listen Lyrics by Colm Egan

Here’s My Face

2020

Woah
They’re closing down this town tonight
The hounds have been let loose
The streets are filled with fire
And the burning of old wounds
Folks are so damn tired
Of the same old front-page news
Listen to the storm outside
It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life
Woah
Listen to the storm outside
It’s gonna blow the shame away
My son please take care
When you’re walking through the streets
Ancient demons didn’t leave
Seems the scene is on repeat
Our suffering is meaningless
We’re stuck with this disease
I hate it but believe that they’re still hanging from the trees
The strange fruits are overripe like souls beyond the grid
Imagine what it means to send this message to your kids
I guess I really can’t
The second I pretend
I put a dagger through their chest
And feel like lying through my teeth
My fellow men
The only thing I can is to offer you my shoulder
And to promise that I care
And even if it takes just a splinter of that load
Or adds a glimmer to the coal
I want to mentally connect
I have the highest of respect for those who don’t fire back with hate
And inspire us with strength by fighting kind and with their heads
Like a lion on its back
Suppressed desire to attack
The entire world can see it‘s time to finally react
A silent scream shall flash and erupt the walls
That have shaped your life
People, It must be done
The columns shall break, but here is the clue
All lives don’t matter until black lives do
Listen to the storm outside
It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life
Woah
Listen to the storm outside
It’s gonna blow the shame away
And can you tell me
How many hearts must break?
And lives must it take?
Why does the colour of your skin
Decide who lives and dies?
Who gains and who’s denied?
My history’s steeped in sin
It’s steeped in sin
Its ugly face is here again
Woah
Woah
Listen to the storm outside (how many hearts must break?)
It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life
(And lives must it take?)
Woah
Listen to the storm outside
It’s gonna blow the shame away
(Why does the colour of your skin)
Listen to the storm outside (decide who lives and dies?)
It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life
(Who gains and who’s denied?)
Woah
Listen to the storm outside (my history’s steeped in sin)
It’s gonna blow the shame away
