The Yellow Sun....
....well, it took the hand....
....of a country boy....
....to a city in a far-off land....
....we made no mark....
....no shadow at all....
....on the ancient Holy streets....
....where I learned to crawl....
....the broken and the bruised....
....the young and the used....
....the sure and confused....
....all here.
Words would land on me....
....then abandon me....
....mangle, untangle me....
....leave me on the floor....
....rhymes, they sprang in me....
....summer sang in me....
....but summer sings in me no more.
Now, I'm twenty-five....
....and trying to stay alive....
....in a corner of the world....
....with no clear enemies....
....to fight....
....to fight....
....it's hot as Hell....
....we're like butter on toast....
....but there's no army in this world....
....can fight a ghost....
....looking at the bruised....
....the young and the used....
....the sure and confused....
....all here.
Words would land on me....
....then abandon me....
....leave me stranded....
....and nodding on....
....the door....
....the door....
....rhymes began in me....
....summer sang in me....
....summer sings in me no more....
....ooooo-ooo-ooo-oooooo....
....ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooo-ooo....
....listen to the cries....
....the schedules....
....the silence in the foreign ground....
....listen to the thunder....
....the sky stretched....
....it's stretched over everyone....
....listen to the tanks....
....the shots fall....
....the moans from those who've maimed....
....listen to the calls ship....
....assertion.
At twenty-one....
....I was born a son....
....and on that day, I knew....
....I could kill....
....to protect the ones....
....who put bullets in guns....
....or anything it takes....
....to take a life....
....until it's still.
