One Song Lyrics
One by Hercules And Love Affair I've come to know the taste of dirt
The rejection upon my tongue
Oh, I know my coat is black
I've been a threat since I was young
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Turning, twisting of words
Tracing my essence towards the sun
Magic in my infancy
I was perfect, I was one
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
I break you with my nature
Mouth and volcano, one
My arms screaming with branches
Womb of ocean and all
Feeding upon my own flesh
Eyes fire with what I've won
Swallow you in tsunami
Wild forces overrun
I kiss the gift, I kiss the stone
And love the damage that's been done
A child's blood was drawn from me
My river drools communion
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
Held down, head down
My body crushes yours now
I'm burning with the sun
Swallow you in tsunami
Wild forces overrun
Rise up, girl, rise up
Speak your truth, speak your truth
Fear none and walk without shame
Remember, no more dying
No more dying
No more dying
No more dying
