Air Away - Mni Wiconi Lyrics

There will be blood
What is held in our hearts (I am love)
What is held in your hands (I am hate)
A bullet for my daughter (I am death)
Another life made a martyr (I am life)
There will be blood
There will be blood
Protect the land
Protect my life
The sacred grounds
That you unearthed
Mni Wiconi, water's life
My own freedom's compromised
What's buried underneath these leaves
Are these roots a part of me

I watched my blood
Pour on the soil
The ground's thirsty
I watched you dig
For your f*cking oil
It's killing me
(Killing me)

We've reached too far
We've touched the sun
It burns my lungs
To look at you one last time
I am love
I am hate
I am death
Resurrect me
Sleeper, wake
Rise from the grave
Take hold this torch
Ignite your soul
We've reached too far
We've touched the sun
It burns my lungs
(It's killing me)
Is this the dark before the dawn
Is this the endless epilogue
Tell me if love is the answer,
Can it salvage humanity

Will we see past these lines we've drawn
Will you breathe outside these prison bars
Set us free
