From the recording THE BEST OF EMY DAY
Lyrics
In the stillness of the night, I feel the weight,
Echoes of sorrow, a bitter fate and a murder.
You stood tall, but your heart is now stone,
With hatred so fierce, you’ve cut to the bone.
DHS Kristi Nome, your legacy's now a scar,
Innocent lives stolen, but now it’s gone too far!
You shape the darkness in the USA,
You feed the fear and fan the flames,
With innocence lost, with a heartless sneer,
You don’t care, a mother’s cry hangs heavy in the air.
The truth gets buried, but do you even care?
January 7th, is now a day forever changed,
Your ICE agents took aim; it’s all so deranged.
An innocent mother killed, her life snuffed out for not,
You taught us all to live in doubt, now.
Winds of injustice blow through the cold,
Leaving behind the stories untold.
You shape the darkness in the USA,
You feed the fear and fan the flames,
With innocence lost, with a heartless sneer,
You don’t care, a mother’s cry hangs heavy in the air.
The truth gets buried, but do you even care?
With your bully cowboy tactics and ruthless pride,
You and ICE think you’re above the law, you choose to decide,
A shot rang out from your federal agent, no warning at all,
Under your watch, compassion’s left behind, a mother is gone.
Her name was Renee Good, now forever gone,
In the whispers of the night, our hearts still mourn.
You shape the darkness in the USA,
You feed the fear and fan the flames,
With innocence lost, with a heartless sneer,
You don’t care, a mother’s cry hangs heavy in the air.
The truth gets buried, but do you even care?
So here we stand, in the quiet despair,
Holding the memories, the love that you tear,
For every life stolen, the fight will ignite,
In the stillness of the night, we’ll seek the light.
