No Sanctuary

Contorted glass spires
Etching shadows // Fissured valleys
Wantage erasure
Ever slowly crushing
Against stone & steel sky
Our hands cannot give way
Expel the other
Resign them to mass graves
The foundations of hubris // Built in haste
Dissenting reverberations
Rupture faulty mortar
Cultured hostility // Liberal artifice
Revamped red lining // Explosion of houselessness
Fat of the land
For the gluttonous echelon
Left to waste sides // Outskirts
Make-shift islands // Sea of dispossession
Increased police presence
Enforce privatized dominion
chorus:
A lack of compassion
Society claims
We are without worth
Disproportional affliction // Against marginalized communities
Denied access
A life without dignity
We cannot lay idle
Whilst unchecked ravagers // Tear us apart
Repetitive precision // Unremitting intent
No sanctuary // Nowhere to rest
Our heads are plagued // With fears and uncertainties
Skyrocketing costs
Income inequality
Food desertification
Health services eroding
Our disparity // Will not be our death blow
This is no sanctuary // No safe harbor

Ku i // Ka pono
Ku'e // No ka aina
Ka'a kaua (war tactics)
Besieged to cultural famine
Those without ha
Exhale industrialization
Empires // Plantations
Constricted // Suffocation
13 conspired
Abrogation of a nation
Unleashed free reign
Expansion // Divided aina
Fueled by ko
Consumption drove
chorus
Hewa machines
No longer can make us bleed
Take back haloa
Take root // Hold ground
Unlearn their fallacy
Defend our sovereignty
Madmen have poisoned us
To enslave our future
Mano haole
Took scent // Bloodtrails
Desperate to erase
Toppled ahupua'a
Rainbow of agents
Oligarchs footsteps
Trails of toxins
Followed in their wake
Knowledge from our kapuna
(we will) reclaim ka 'aina
Haloa in hand
Return to malama
Import disease // Enforce labor suppression
Displacement of kanaka // Extreme globalization
Install caste systems of racial division
Wave after wave of environmental destruction
I ku mau mau
I ku wa
I ku mau mau
I ku huluhulu
I ka lanawao
I ku wa
I ku lanawao
I ku wa
I ku wa huki
I ku wa ko
I ku wa a mau
A mau ka eulu
E huki e
Kulia
Ku'e no ka aina

Dime por qué luchas
Por qué resistes
Cual es la injusticia
Fuego en mis palabras
Fuego en mis ojos
Fuerza color rojo
chorus
Luchemos! / En resistencia
Marchando! / Por unidad
Reclamando! / Culturas robadas
Y contra el odio racial
Rompiendo cadenas de sumisión
Uniendo mi voz por la liberación
Destruyendo toda separación
Que nos lleva al odio en vez del amor
Luchemos! / En resistencia
Marchando! / Por unidad
Reclamando! / Culturas robadas
Y contra el odio racial
Luchando! / Contra fascistas
Luchando! / Capitalistas
Luchando! / No mas racistas
Unidos! Contra! Fascistas!
_________________________________________________________
TRANSLATION:
Tell me why struggle
Why resist
Which it is injustice
Fire in my words
Fire in my eyes
Red Force
Fight! in resistance
Marching! Per unity
Reclaiming! stolen cultures
And against racist hatred
Breaking chains of submission
Uniting my voice for liberation
Destroying all separation
Which brings us to hate instead of love
Fight! in resistance
Marching! Per unity
Reclaiming! stolen cultures
And against racial hatred
Struggling! against fascists
Struggling! against capitalists
Struggling! pinches racist
Punch a Nazi in the face!

En este país donde es dificil encontrar amor
Por estar en medio de puro
Egocentrista
Materialista
Egocentrista
Materialista!
Encadenada a tu mente con tu lengua avientas hechizos
Luchando por desencadenarme a lo que siempre
Senti falso
Ya no puedes creer en la lengua
que solo ilusiona y envenena
No, no,
No,no creas
Sus sentimientos no existen
No, no
No,no creas juramentos de mierda
Avientas hechizos creas tu propio infierno
Avientas hechizos creas tu propio infierno
Infierno que consume y envenena
No, no
No,no creas
Sus sentimientos no existen
No,no
No,no creas juramentos de mierda

Toppled and foiled // From western ideals
Odium reign // the patriarch will
Fueled by scroll // Blinded disdain
Capital cornered // An ancient resurgence
Power their onus // Derision of justice
Destitute peoples // Hungry in pain
Suppression to follow to mark their reign
Tudeh (توده) to falsify
Leadership masked // Cloaked in red // From the north
Discredited // Tarnished
Insurgence of Fedaiin (فدأین)
Ba johare Fanon / با جوهره فنان (With the ink of Fanon)

Ravens of light // Reproach the sky
Catapulted to organize
Guerrilla insurgence // A leftist rebirth
A caustic conviction to stay and fight
بد میکنن و نیک تم میدارن (they do bad deeds and hope to gain positive outcomes)
هم بد باشد سزای بد کار داری (though bad forces only deserve bad in return as that is what they put forward)
با اینکه ملت کریم است و رحیم (the people you're trying to reach are merciful)
گندم رها ندهد بر چون جو سرکوب میکاری
(But if you plant the barley (of suppression), the wheat (of liberation) won't grow)

Climate of denial
04:01

|
||
Debauchees obsessions
with 19th century vestiges
Autocrats will sacrifice all life
For the last drinks of black blood
Extrinsic to reality
Selling neoliberal process
Globalization
It's failures should not supersede our survival
Rising tides know not time
Nor the fever of our situation
Droughts // Hurricanes
Coastal inundation
Acidification // Famine
Denial // Indifference
Akin to genocide
Escalating warfare
Blistering temperature // Further acceleration
Mass diaspora of the afflicted
Severed cultural connections
Will there be recompense for vanishing homelands
Or xenophobia
Rising tides
Know not time
Nor the fever of our situation
Droughts // Hurricanes
Coastal inundation
Acidification // Famine
There must be a drastic shift
From our current trajectory
Emboldened trans-nationalist
Encased in disillusionment
Crashing us into global crisis
Rendering our world uninhabitable
Rise up against their injustice
Knowledge // Divestment // Direct action
