Shame on you

I’ll work until I put myself into the grave

Before I watch her suffer, before I watch her slave

Hands split open, carrying the weight

While comfortable eyes decide her fate

If it doesn’t hurt you to watch them starve

Don’t speak of mercy, don’t call yourself hard

Then I tell you, we’re not the same

You built your throne from another’s pain

I’ll bear the fire, I’ll shoulder the blame

But I won’t bow to a heart without shame

We’re not the same

We’re not the same

She counts the hours by the bread on the table

Keeps moving forward because stopping is fatal

I know the price of a promise kept

And every debt that the powerful left

If you can sleep while the hungry remain

Your silence is chosen, your comfort is stained

Then I tell you, we’re not the same

You built your throne from another’s pain

I’ll bear the fire, I’ll shoulder the blame

But I won’t bow to a heart without shame

We’re not the same

We’re not the same

Let the cold wind judge us

Let the iron sky decide

I would rather break beneath the burden

Than leave her there behind

No more excuses

No more disguise

Look at the hunger

Look in their eyes

I’ll work until I put myself into the grave

Before I watch her suffer, before I watch her slave

If it doesn’t hurt you to watch them starve

Then I tell you we’re not the same

No, we’re not the same

No, we’re not the same

I carry the weight

I refuse your name
