Testo Let Us Live - Conjurer

Let Us Live

Forgo your fears, stifle your doubts
We cannot thrive 'til they're cast out
What blessing had you upon your birth
That seemed to elude my cradle?

What anguish should befall you
Were I to become your peer?
And would it match the daily dread
Your ignorance costs me dear?

It seems our presence pains you
But you're at ease when we pass
So if in your head I'm a deviant
What about me can't you stand?

Is it my skin? Is it my lover?
Is it my body and all that it's suffered?
Is it the way I just want to be seen?
Is it my life you want taken from me?

We've been here all along
Forever standing wronged
What you see as deceit
Is our living honestly

In the face of your abuse
We stand with nothing left to lose
We strive to speak our truth:
We live in spite of you

This fear, you'll never know
This life, you'll never lead
This love, you'll never feel
This death, you'll never see

With what trace of resolve is left in my hands
This once desperate plea... becomes a demand:
Let us live
Let us live
Let us live
Let us live
