lyrics

(Verse 1)
Blocked in
La fenêtre marche pas
A space thin
Difficile à voir
Too cold to shiver
And too wet to dry
and the tears might freeze before they leave his eye Warm blooded in a cold cold world
Where dreams get burnt,
Froze or made sterile
Where I have a dream
means more things
No cheeks to turn,
More death to bring
Take the risk to take the place of a king
But the light is low in here
And the darkness stings
And the wind don’t whistle through the woods
It sings
Songs of Château Joux for immortal beings Thousands of souls that become on scream Shouting, we but to show you what revolution means, So he had to freeze
The body might die, yeah
But the soul still breathes
Sending waves of change across the seas.
The small man believes
That we can’t perceive
The sun still shines beyond the death he leaves Might squeeze and squeeze to create dis ease
But the sense to survive strive and achieve
Make the heat when all else freeze
Said the light to fight, strive and achieve
Make heat
When all else freeze
(Chorus)
He put the light real low (So very dark and cold)
In a box on rocks and snow
(Box on rocks and snow) He put the lights real low In a box on rocks
(Way too cold)
and snow
(Verse 2)
What it mean to you?
You gotta swell your ego
So we can see you,
wanna claim sovereign people?
But your revolt already spoke,
We all equal
LeClerc let me speak to you
Look here, huh..
take this paperwork right back to your people
Make sure Bonaparte
Know this part
Them souls with skin dark
Got big hearts,
We see you slicing the Tarte
And we claim our part.
Look dude justice is not à la carte!
Your chamber music outta key cause you read bad charts Everybody got a part to play so restart
You can brick the window up be we still shine in the dark
(Chorus)
