about

A Gospel-esque protest song, soulful and savage

lyrics

There's no evidence yet
no not a spill
or secrets come a tumbling from my wicked mouth
or some speech on a corner by a man selling faith and a reason to take

And as the desert's dry heat falls from their boots
and history's protesting is once again mute
hope they're happy, hope they're happy
and the churches ring for silence for the cost
and the lands divide whats won and lost
hope they're happy, hope they're happy

Still it's good trade for the Black Hawk Enemy
and pride is tainted by a Black Hawk Enemy.

Then guilt knaws out bones
it'll bite each and every one
yet let bravery endure
let us be resolute and strong
let us wrap ourselves up in flags
to the green-lit future, let us never go back

We wont be feeding that Black Hawk Enemy
We're getting away from that Black Hawk Enemy

(instrumental)

And as the desert's dry heat falls from their boots
and the uniform is pressed folded away too
hope they're happy, hope they're happy
and as the seeds of sadness bow away
duty remains, what's left to say?
hope they're happy, hope they're happy

still it's good trade for the Black Hawk Enemy
and pride is tainted by a Black Hawk Enemy
we wont be feeding that Black Hawk Enemy
we're getting away from that Black Hawk Enemy
