Burn The Red 歌词

We wear red Symbols of fertility White bonnet Stripped of our identity Red Like blood Like a sinner Like smoke From an unseen fire Under his eye We are all but vessels We don’t cry Held down by human shackles It’s red Like a scream Like anger Like smoke From an unseen fire But I have another name That doesn’t come from him That doesn’t colour me red Red, red, red I hold my other name Like an amulet One day I’ll wear it again We didn’t see the flames Till the forest fire (Burn the red dress) Once we were a flame Now we’re a forest fire (Burn the red dress) Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red Burn it all Praise be We thank this blessed day Unseen Beaten, branded, raped I’m red Like anger Like a warning Like smoke From an unseen fire We have another name That doesn’t come from him That doesn’t colour us red Red, red, red And we whisper our names Like thunder rising Until it’s deafening You didn’t see the flames Till the forest fire (Burn the red dress) Once we were a flame Now we’re a forest fire (Burn the red dress) You didn’t see the flames Till the forest fire (Burn the red dress) Once we were a flame Now we’re a forest fire (Burn the red dress) Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red Burn it all
