War Within a Breath

War within a breath, it's land or death
Wearin' the masked scream
It's land or death
War within a breath, it's land or death
He builds his homes
Seize the metropolis it's you its built on
War within a breath, it's land or death
Yes, it's a war from the depth of time
Silent and tame, and with our flesh and bones
Everything can change on a New Year's Day
Like Gaza on to the dawn Intifada
Black flag and a red star
A risin' sun loomin' over Los Angeles
Everything can change on a New Year's Day
Everything can change on a New Year's Day
And everything changed on a New Year's Day

Yes, for Raza livin' in La La
War within a breath, it's land or death
War within a breath, it's land or death
Yeah, aah, c'mon, c'mon, yes, yes, yes

The masked screaming, land or death within a breath
World's eye captured, at last is a Mexican pasture

War within a breath, it's land or death
Reach for the lessons the masked pass on
And everything can change on a New Year's Day
Shots heard underground round the rapture
Everything can change on a New Year's Day
A war from the depth of time

C'mon

Their land deeds, their hired guns
Their existence is a crime
War within a breath, it's land
Its war within a breath, it's land or death
Shook all the world bankers, who think they can rhyme
Shot the landlords who knew it was mine
War within a breath, it's land or death
Everything can change on New Year's Day
Clenched to smash power so cancerous
They're the crime
War within a breath, it's land or death
C'mon, uh
Shot four puppet governors in a line

And everything can change on a New Year's Day
Southern fist, rise through the jungle mist
War within a breath, it's land or death
Their seat, their robe, their tie
