Back Into the Night
© ROESCH 2021

There’s a dark force movin’… across this land of, so many faces
Across the valleys, the mountains, rivers and fields … and the gathered souls from so many places

It slipped through our garden gate … this dark beast of division, fear and hate
It speaks in the language we made … and tell us to surrender our fate
And fall …

Back into the night …
Back into the night …
Back into … the night

With authority, the beast tells us lie … that with those we disagree, we must divide. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and friends … to those bonds of love the beast seeks to end

It tells us left and right are the only ways to go … and destroys our memory of the middle path we know. — It makes us silent when we see wrong … as long as it helps the side we are on.
And then we fall …

don’t listen to the fear and the lies
Back into the night …
they lead you to hate and divide
Back into the night …
don’t hesitate or we’ll lose the fight
Back into … the night …

Listen … it’s real easy to wrap your head around
If we sit here and do nothing, they’re gonna’ run our country into the ground
Now you can wish it away, or, say it isn’t so.
You can, take another selfie, or go stick your head in a damn hole
But, I’m telling you now family, this is a deep, dark plan
And it’s coming for us all … every which way it can
But the future isn’t written yet, and the fat lady hasn’t sang,
So come on family, rise up, step forward and … take a stand!
(end LowFi)

It’s hard I know, to awake from the slumber, of the comfort, we’ve been blessed.
A gift form those, that fought the true battle, and laid down life so that light could live
It may sound simple, but the dark and the light, is all there is and will ever be.
So awake again brothers and sisters, and see how the beast, moves in …

Defund the police (back into the night)
Sensor your speech (back into the night)
Divide your family (back into the night)
Just sign the release
Broken borders (back into the night)
Drugs on streets (back into the night)
Disarm the people (No No .. back into the night)
Embrace the beast

They won’t stop until we unite!
And raise our voice against the night
Don’t you – sit back down
Stand up and hold your ground
People come on …
Come on!
