Break the Silence (pell)
Snowflake
This is the pell for my contribution to the Break the Silence event.
My remix, along with more of the feelings and background behind the song, is available HERE.
Break the Silence
by Madam Snowflake
Shame
Heavy with Shame
Taking the blame
Looking it in the face
A race for a race
Displaced, enslaved, segregated
By sick, illogical hate
Now we atone for this disgrace
Shame
I feel shame
Now I see your pain
Now I see your pain
Shame
I feel shame
A nation stained by its fathers
We are its sons and its daughters
This sin weighs upon our shoulders
Because it never really changed
Because it never really changed
Shame
I feel shame
I am ashamed
I am ashamed
I am ashamed
I am ashamed
Break the silence
Break the silence
Break the silence
Reparations must be paid
Break the silence
White silence is violence
So break the silence (speak up, speak up)
And change (enough is enough, enough is enough)
I reach to you my brothers
Your children and your lovers
Respect for one another
Will bind our hearts together
I stand with you
And I will not look away
