about

Music written by Moeser.

Lyrics by Ethan Port and Sophia Campbell.

Poem by Maw Shein Win.

Produced by Ethan Port.

lyrics

Standing alone, on a lonely winter day
They wrap my body, in a bloody gauze
Punished for high crimes, of independent thoughts
They lift my body, to the pyre

Shove our corpses from the river shore
Burn our ashes to the sky

Floating down from north to south
The river spirits tell the tale
Of the families endless search
For all the disappeared

Shove their corpses from the river shore
Burn their ashes to the sky

(poem)
the autocrats lost
in the wilderness wandering
the forest of delusion
or the reproving slap
of father, sir, boss boss

and the instability
of blindfolds that shield
necklaces of chains and nails
for soldiers
and boys

Floating past dividing lines
Telegraph these genocides and lies

Floating down from north to south
Tear the spirits through the town
These ancient lands held hostage
Burn the empire down

Shove their corpses from the river shore
Burn their ashes to the sky

(poem)
the autocrats lost
in the wilderness wandering
the forest of delusion
or the reproving slap
of father, sir, boss boss

and the instability
of blindfolds that shield
necklaces of chains and nails
for soldiers
and boys

two thousand years
of longing stupefied tantrum
the oxhearts and oxlips
or the blackness of cherries
that burn through the snow
