The night our eyes changed
|
Rooms where, love was made and un-made in a flash of the night
|
Rooms where, memories drowned in fumes of poison
|
Rooms where, futures were planned and the imagination of children built castles
|
in the sky
|
Rooms where, both the extraordinary and the mundane were lived
|
Become forever tortured graves of ash
|
Oh you political class, so servile to corporate power
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, for us?
|
Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice
|
Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, for us?
|
This corporate manslaughter will haunt you
|
Now hear 'em scream
|
Words can not express, please allow me to begin though
|
1:30am heard the shouting from my window
|
People crying in the street, watchin' the burning of their kinfolk
|
Grenfell Tower, now historically a symbol
|
People reaching, from their windows, screaming for their lives
|
Pleading, with the cries, tryna reason with the skies
|
Dale youth birthed champions, comparison is clear though |
That every single person in the building was a hero
|
So don’t judge our tired eyes in these trying times
|
'Cause we be breathing in cyanide, the entire night
|
They say Yasin saw the fire and he ran inside
|
Who’d thought that would be the site where he and his family died
|
The street is like a graveyard, tombstones lurching over us
|
Those shouting out to their windows now wish they never woke them up
|
Wouldn’t hope your worst enemy to go in this position
|
Now it’s flowers for the dead and printed posters for the missing, come home
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, for us?
|
Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice
|
Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, for us?
|
This corporate manslaughter will haunt you
|
Now hear 'em scream
|
I see trauma in the faces of all those that witnessed this
|
Innocence in the faces of all those on the missing list
|
See hopes unfulfilled, ambitions never achieved
|
No I’m not the only one that sees the dead in my dreams |
Strive for the bravery of Yasin, artistic gift of Khadija
|
Every person, a unique blessing to never be repeated
|
Strive for the loyalty of siblings that stayed behind with their parents
|
Pray that every loved one lost can somehow make an appearance
|
We are, calling like the last conversations with their dearest
|
Until we face, what they face we will never know what fear is
|
We are, calling for survivors rehoused in the best place
|
Not to be left sleeping in the West Way for 10 days
|
We’re, calling for arrests made and debts paid
|
In true numbers known for the families who kept faith
|
We’re, calling for safety in homes of love
|
They are immortalised forever, the only ghosts are us, I wonder
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, for us?
|
Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice
|
Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, or us?
|
Did they die, for us?
|
This corporate manslaughter will haunt you
|
Now hear 'em scream
