Again – Demo

I’m putting this song up here because I’ve had friends and family tell me it’s one of their favorites. The original meaning has taken on a different meaning to me personally. Life has changed so much in the last few years. But change and love are the only constants in the universe.

Iron Bird excerpt

And the lawmen, they frown upon

the hungry they look down upon

making deals to legislate

lobby in back rooms

bound by blood this yoke we wear

the debt of war forced to bear

labor sets the blood a boil

with cowed indifference we must toil

The salesmen now are governors

point fingers at young mothers

tear babies from their arms

slowly raise the blade

wash their hands of any harm

First they came

First they came for Muslims and I did not speak out because I was not a Muslim. Then they came for the undocumented immigrants and I did not speak out because I was not an undocumented immigrant. Then they came for the LGBTQ community and I did not speak out because I wasn’t part of it. Then they came for the climate scientists and I did not speak out because I was not a climate scientist. Then they came for the press and media and I did not speak out because I was not part of the press or media. Then they came for the government employees and I did not speak out because I was not a government employee. Then they came for women’s rights and I did not speak out because I was not a woman. Then they came for me and there was no one left to stand up for me.

Paraphrased from Martin Niemöller’s poem.

The destructive coal mining process known as mountaintop removal is leaving behind a grossly disfigured landscape.

Enjoy!
