Bulletproof Bloom

[Strofa 1]
The sun rises red over fields of dust
While the iron gears turn in a game of distrust
I see the children hiding from the shadow of the plane
Selling their tomorrow for a legacy of pain
But my spirit ain’t broken, my voice is a fire
Lifting the truth just a little bit higher
Through the smoke and the thunder, I’m calling your name
Love is the water, death is the flame.

[Ritornello]
Lay down the steel, let the heartbeat sound
No more blood to stain the ground!
From the mountain peak to the deep blue sea
Peace is the only way to be free
One world, one rhythm, one soul, one life
Cut through the darkness, put down the knife!

[Strofa 2]
(Hip Hop Verse)
Check, yo, I’m spitting the vision of wisdom
Escaping the prison of this geopolitical system
They’re counting the bullets while we’re counting the bodies
Turning our brothers to ghosts and to hobbies for lobbies
I got the ukulele strumming with the tabla beat
A rebel evolution marching down the city street
We don’t need your borders, we don’t need your walls
The empire flickers and the monument falls
Listen to the harp strings weaving through the hate
It’s never too early and it’s never too late
To turn the percussion of war into a song
To right every record that’s ever been wrong.

[Ritornello]
Lay down the steel, let the heartbeat sound
No more blood to stain the ground!
From the mountain peak to the deep blue sea
Peace is the only way to be free
One world, one rhythm, one soul, one life
Cut through the darkness, put down the knife!

[Bridge]
(Saxophone and Flute Interlude)
Can you hear the flute crying in the wind?
Asking the heavens where the mercy begins?
The harp is a bridge over rivers of grief
The saxophone wails for a moment’s relief
I’m screaming to the sky till my lungs give out
Silence the anger, silence the doubt!

[Ritornello]
Lay down the steel, let the heartbeat sound
No more blood to stain the ground!
From the mountain peak to the deep blue sea
Peace is the only way to be free
One world, one rhythm, one soul, one life
Cut through the darkness, put down the knife!

[Outro]
Let it breathe...
Let the peace flow like a river.
No more war. No more war.
(Voices fade with the rhythmic pulse of the tabla)
Peace...
Universal peace.
