Iron Trees Lyrics - Strike Anywhere

To glitter 

Like cities 

breathing below 

while lights mark time 

in the lowest room 

outside 

the white man's death 

in the hands of violence 

are choking our breath 

in the prison parks 

our righteousness 

contains the litter 

that we kill in contempt of 

ourselves 

We followed these streets 

through the city's red lights 

Underneath these iron trees 

On rooftops worth burning 

whispers to prayers 

in these strange futures 

know your rights 

We kill in contempt of kindness 

extricate or obliterate me 

don't let it get so far away 

don't settle 

for justice punch it through the screen 

and every dead commercial in between 

calls you to be captured 

to write you down 

We followed these streets 

into the city's red lights 

Underneath these iron trees 

On rooftops worth burning 

whispers to prayers 

in these strange futures 

know your rights 

don't settle for justice 

punch it through the screen 

and every dead commercial in between 

calls you, calls you to be captured 

to write you 

to write you in
