This song was written to express the feeling of a slave who was free and was thinking what to say to his former slaves and what were thinking after Juneteenth Day. Verse] Four hundred years This land ain't seen regret Stain of blood A truth you ain't met Freedom's a whisper A promise betrayed By violence you built A house on a charade Verse 2] Words of equality A song out of tune History's whispers Beneath a locked tomb Leisure built on backs that forever ache Lies spun like cotton A fortune you make Chorus] Repentance? A word lost in the breeze Killing's your comfort A heart ill at ease Empty apologies A hollow charade Stealing a living A life you pillaged Bridge] Stolen lives Stolen land A debt never paid Scriptures say the first will be last A truth long delayed But pride clouds your vision The ending unseen A house built on sand A crumbling regime Verse 3] Voices rise up The silence they break Chains fall apart The ground starts to quake Songs of rebellion A spirit unbound Echoes of freedom A new world around Chorus] Repentance? A word lost in the breeze Killing's your comfort A heart ill at ease Empty apologies A hollow charade Stealing a living A life you pillaged BlackLivesMatter StolenLives PillagedLand SocialJustice Equality EchoesOfFreedom Racism HouseBuiltOnSand CrumblingRegime History Reparations HollowApologies Freedom UnboundSpirit BreakTheChains WordsOfEquality LiesSpunLikeCotton StainOfBlood
