Black Skies Lyrics by Louise Distras

Beauty After Bruises

2023

Black Skies part one

Flags push polluted air
There's no escape
Stone rises from its own destruction
Straight into the sky
Bulldozed and reborn
It's a life and death dance

Listen to the heartbeat
Bass hits hard
Zoots in the car
Pistol gripped man gets popped
In the land of no law

Emaciated skeletal faces
Deep drilled veins in a needle wasteland
Watch the sun rise above concrete
Cold streets with no heartbeat

The crime nеver stops
Fatherless homеs and roaming mobs
Dealing dreams in parking lots
Crushed faces in windows
Dogs with savage eyes
Bark misery into the night
Misery into the night

As the city looks for love in a beggars drinking cup
The dream is over
There's no escape
There's no escape
The dream is over

Punk don't work
People aren't free
Not what I call a democracy
Bleed you dry, self provocation
Red white blue is screwing up the nation

No no no London's burning
High rise black sky London's burning
Police subvert petrol bomb spree
And they call it lawless anarchy

Hey hey what you gonna do

Streets of rage where violence breeds
Urban pain the ghetto bleeds
Blame the rich blame the poor
Start a fire and watch it burn

No no no London's burning
High rise black sky London's burning
Police subvert petrol bomb spree
Start a fire and watch it burn

Hey ho lying low
Hey ho gotta go
Burn

Hey ho lying low
Hey ho gotta go

Punk don't work
People aren't free
There is no democracy

Punk don't work
People aren't free
There is no democracy

Punk don't work
People aren't free
There is no democracy

Punk don't work
People aren't free
There is no democracy

Punk don't work
People aren't free
There is no democracy
