The Burning Bush
the burning bush
who murdered justice
I know is not us
yet we are involved
our silence to brutality
is the prove
the look away eyes
is the evidence
we all are scared
scared to lose
what we already lost
what a fear
this fear keeps the brave
in cage
were he always lights up
the burning bush
the burning bush
who murdered humanity
they said is us
they blame our shadows
despite their reflection
keeps the bush burning
alive on our fingers
lighting up the bush
day and night
cos we need to be feel free
for a while
every were the bush keep burning
in the east is burning
in the west is burning
in the south is burning
in the north is burning
all over the world
they always lights up
the burning bush
the burning bush
who murdered the braves
who destroys our dignity
is not strange that
they are not strangers
any longer
they are our very own
their affliction are our bitterness
they got no soul
our crys are their power
no wonder they curse
confusion on our hands
full of lighters
when we light up
the burning bush
when we need to feel free
for a while
when we need the
sight of God
we have no other violence
no other crime except lighting up
the burning bush
the burning bush
who murdered the herb
i swear they are out their
they live in their high mansion
yes they can never go low
like us
they said we are criminals
cos only criminals could
light up the burning bush
arrest them jail them
that is the order from
above
from those that murdered
humanity
those that murdered our rights
those that murdered justice
they are now in chase of
the burning bush
they dont want us
to lights up the trees of life
no wonder freedom is a
calamity to them
especially when we light up
the burning bush
