Yaawke’ tahaay yuuk

As they gather and seek

Amongst those confined

Hidden hopes

That are housed within hearts and minds

When it sits in your blood

Memory won’t decay

Haunting calls

From inside

As they remember

It gives you

Closure that won't come

Conjured visions

Dissociated dreams

When this putrid still

Turns to breeze

Your body remembers

This blackened hole controlling thee

Bringer of disease, unholy keep

Pain, cross, and chains imprisoning

Insufferable plague of divinity

In my contamination

This will secure

It sits within your blood

In my contamination

This will secure

My body remembers

And as I strand from rock beneath

The river floweth between my knees

It was a force that had compulsed

I tried to wash from where it bleeds

This burn not caused by fire

But bloodied assaults

When I'm evoked it draws my blood

When I reflect my mother tongue

When I reflect my mother tongue
