I carry history with me
I carry hope
All the nameless faces before us
Let's carry them all
[Chorus]
I wanna carry the dead
Wage war, war on the palaces
I wanna carry the dead
Wage war on the palaces
You carry judgment and privilege
With morals to spend
Can't see the grids for the structures
You're just one of them
Who talk about freedom and progress
With a corpse in your mouth
Never had tasted the violence
That gave us our rights
How did you think we got here?
You took our gains for granted
You think we stumbled upon them
On our way to find ourselves
[Chorus]
Let's carry the dead
Wage war, war on the palaces
I wanna carry the dead
Wage war on the palaces
I wanna carry the dead
Wage war, war on the palaces
I wanna carry the dead
Because you know: you'll be judged too
What did you fight for, exactly what did you do?
Let's get rhetorical without going too far
Tell me: who's responsible?
You fucking are
[Outro]
Let's carry the dead
Let's carry the dead
Let's carry the dead
Let's carry the dead
War on the palaces
