Blackbirds Roar Lyrics by Strike Anywhere

Iron Front

2009

[Chorus]
All the world is waiting
In the half life where we live
Nobody left to lead us
Our time is closing in
We'll take it back (We'll take it back)
Our time is closing in
So make it last (So make it last)
Our time is closing in
[Verse 1]
Living in apocalypse, closing in
From the streets to the towers where the air is thin
What does it take, take to survive?
In the lumpen maze, how to get out alive
Gardens in the ghetto, abandoned lots
Loved in secret, it's all that we've got
So when the police come, we'll tell them it was all of us, all of us
[Chorus]
Whoa, our time is closing in
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Our time is closing in
[Verse 2]
There's the college of protection for the rich white men
Who frame us for their camera eyes
Science of injustice can be dispossessed
Every time we organize
From the halls of litigation to the empty docks
Where the product rolls on by (Rolls on by)
Production is protected like an innocent
While our dreams are hung and dried
[Bridge]
The straw men built up will be burning, my friend
To light and guide our way, our way
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four!
All the world is waiting
In the half life where we live
Nobody left to lead us (Lead us)
Our time is closing in
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Our time is closing in
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Our time is closing in
