Valley of Last Resort (2020)

Текст песни Gary Clark, Jr. feat Gustavo Santaolalla - Valley of Last Resort (2020)

When the ghost of a sweet raving beast connects with your soul
When the thought of the unfinished fight won't let go
When injustice still feeds on the frail we all know
That the power of freak needs to speak to the world again

Maybe chains are not broken by hope
But they're rattled by prayer
And the peace that we fight for leaves fire
And smoke in the air
If the world turns its back on our rights
There'll be news to report,
On the battles begun in the valley of last resort

Truth is the point of the arrow
They fed us lies in the past
The road ahead is narrow, but fast
In the end we'll shout:
Life matters, at last

If regret was contagious the world,
Would be drowning in tears
Does the plague open hearts, open minds
So the world finally hears,
Is a tipping point past
When we wittness a life cut short?
Send the honor guard formed
In the valley of last resort

Truth is the point of the arrow
They fed us lies in the past
The road ahead is narrow, but fast
In the end we'll shout:
Life matters, at last

And the anthems of freedom
Won't be sung by the voices we've lost,
Bless the hearts, names and faces,
The shock of a deadly cost,
Warriors kneeling for justice
Demanded by the people's court,
Send the Hornored Guard formed
In the Valley of Last Resort,

Does the plague open hearts, open minds
So the world finally hears,
It's a tipping point passed when we witness
A life that's cut short
Bring the Honored Guard formed
In the Valley of last resort

Truth is the point of the arrow
They fed us lies in the past
The road ahead is narrow, but fast
In the end we'll shout:
Life matters, at last
