Send Up the Signal Lyrics

Send up the signal

Call the Commissioner

Gallop through the night

Alert all your neighbors

Hang the tower lanterns

Let them see the light

We cannot escape this

No one is right

Put up those defenses

Bring a pitchfork to the fight

Can't erase history by pulling down a statue

Can't battle hatred by not letting someone speak

Can't kill ideology with bombs

Can't hear the confession of a witch, when she's already drowned

After the snow

The sapling will grow

After the flood

the soul learns

Train on a platform

Arms hanging out

Reaching for a hand

Not a sound from your mouth

Packed inside a boxcar

Train rolls out

We cannot escape this

There is no light

Put up those defenses

Disappear into the night

Can't erase history, you can only change minds

Spit off a cliff, it'll blow back in your eye

Can't fight inequality with lies

Can't change a frog into a Monarch Butterfly

After the snow

The sapling will grow

After the flood

The soul learns to love

We strip away the mud

Matador in gold

Elephant in blue

Estoque and Muleta

Nettipattam and daant

Packed into a bullring

No possible detente

Send up the signal

Send up the signal

Send up the signal
