We wear red Symbols of fertility White bonnet Stripped of our identity
Red Like blood Like a sinner Like smoke From an unseen fire
Under his eye We are all but vessels We don’t cry Held down by human shackles
It’s red Like a scream Like anger Like smoke From an unseen fire
But I have another name That doesn’t come from him That doesn’t colour me red, Red, red, red
I hold my other name Like an amulet One day I’ll wear it again
We didn’t see the flames Till the forest fire (Burn the red dress )
Once we were a flame Now we’re a forest fire (Burn the red dress )
Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red Burn it all
Praise be We thank this blessed day Unseen Beaten, branded, raped
I’m red Like anger Like a warning Like smoke From an unseen fire
We have another name That doesn’t come from him That doesn’t colour us red Red, red, red
And we whisper our names Like thunder rising Until it’s deafening
You didn’t see the flames Till the forest fire (Burn the red dress )
Once we were a flame Now we’re a forest fire (Burn the red dress )
You didn’t see the flames Till the forest fire (Burn the red dress )
Once we were a flame Now we’re a forest fire (Burn the red dress )
Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red dress yeah Burn the red Burn the red Burn it allTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
