Pavement speaks too and it sings songs of tragedy 
Broken ground like the stripped sound of the songs we sing 
Under every crooked wave, asleep, deep in broken dreams 
Longing one day to wake up 

But the sun never rises on an earth with the shade pulled down 
And death moves to silence the sound 
Of hearts beating like fists on the walls that enclose us 
Breaking out of the cells that hold us 
And so, stung by the light from the cracked door of tomorrow's life 
We are awake, we are alive 

To the empty eyes at the surface of this solid ground 
We are voicing our statements now 
Screaming at the sun, I will not be broken 
No curse can kill me, no blade can spill my blood 
No cage can hold me, and no fear can make [bad word] 

And when they tell us we're dying, 
we'll just hold on tightly and remember 
what we're living for 

they tried to steal your voice 
so you kept screaming from your window 
no curse can kill me, no curse can kill me 
they tried to steal your voice 
stung by the light from the cracked door of tomorrow's life 
we are awake, we are alive
