Iconoclast Lyrics by Nervus

The Evil One

2022

[Chorus]
Sun comes out but you will not feel it
Sirens sound but you will not hear it
Roots take hold and break the foundation
Shoots grow in the cracks of a nation
Sun comes out but you will not feel it
Sirens sound but you will not hear it
Roots take hold and break the foundation
Shoots grow in the cracks of a nation
Sun comes out but you will not feel it
Sirens sound but you will not hear it
Roots take hold and break the foundation
Shoots grow in the cracks of a nation

[Verse 1]
I've been moving to a different beat but
Now I'm feeling like I'm trapped again
I've been trying to keep a different time and
Now I'm wondering how it's gonna end

[Refrain]
Because the dams won't hold the flow of the water
Cops won't stop our tears or our laughter
Truncheons won't stop people from healing
Boots can't stamp out what we're all feeling

[Verse 2]
I've been speaking in a different language
Trying to think beyond the current state
Doing things that I can't describe 'cause
Words alone can't accommodate

[Refrain]
Because the dams won't hold the flow of the water
Cops won't stop our tears or our laughter
Truncheons won't stop people from healing
Boots can't stamp out what we're all feeling

[Chorus]
Sun comes out but you will not feel it
Sirens sound but you will not hear it
Roots take hold and break the foundation
Shoots grow in the cracks of a nation
Sun comes out but you will not feel it
Sirens sound but you will not hear it
Roots take hold and break the foundation
Shoots grow in the cracks of a nation
