lyrics

The sun went silent
today
Closed doors and sealed lips
Collar up looking like rain

Working at the base of the monument
Trying to read some sense into it
Hands up flashlight blinded
While I wait

The sun went silent
today
Dark clouds flying
Unfurled and frayed

Run my fate up the flagpole
Handcuffed to the ground in the cold
Hammer on the gavel
What’s my name?

The sun
went silent today
freedom
woke in darkness
lost and afraid

The moon walks Capitol Hill
Outside the fence in a long black veil
weeping on
judgement day

The sun
went silent today
Handcuffed
and violent
what’s my name?
The sun went silent
The sun went silent
Today
