Текст песни No Place to Breathe (Silent Planet) с переводом

I saw you stumble out from the social slaughterhouse

Oppression’s progeny, you lift your head and plead for mercy

Rocks began as building blocks until they turned to throwing stones

A monolith of dominance we set atop your plinth of bones

This privilege is a prism, reflecting our indecision

The iniquities of inhibition, our indifference gave way to a prison

Classes at war, castes are born, criminals are sworn in

Place your hands to the pulse of this city

Keep your ear to the ground, hear her gasp

«I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe»

Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace?

Lay down our weapons and raise our arms

Make every breath a protest

In a world where your neighbors cannot breathe

Every second in the shadows, lives are stolen in the sun

Slowly waking from our apathy to see the fascists have won

They already won

Just ask the child in front of the smoking gun

Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace?

Place your hands to the pulse of this city

Keep your ear to the ground, hear him gasp

«I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe»

We shout at fascist hands, fixed on asphyxiating those in need

Place your hands to the pulse of this city

Keep your ear to the ground, hear them gasp

«I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe»

Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace?

I’ve seen the end

The tyrant on his knees

Will we starve our need for retribution

Or take his eye and all go blind?
