Mount Of Ailings

Guilty by and for your being
Condemned to keep your fingers curled
Looked away, even by the unseeings
Lazarus people, you're dead to the world
Rejected by everybody
Ejected from the city
Respected by nobody
Expected dead already
Rejected
For the aspect of your skin
Ejected
From the swarming banks of the Seine
Respected
Nowhere among the livings
Expected
Nowhere but on the Mount of Ailings
[CHORUS]
Now that you're climbing the mount
Now is not the time to doubt
Anymore
Now you'll live above the clouds
No more spits from below crowds
Nevermore
Welcome to the Mount of Ailings
Welcome to the Mount of Ailings
"Leviticus 13:8 : The priest is to examine that person, and if the rash has spread in the skin, he shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease"
Down you were put, then up you fell
Between crows and boxes of bars and stones
Accused of spells and poisoning wells
No worries, you'll sit on the upper throne
Uncured heresy
Obscured as your skin
Impure for this city
Endure what's coming
Uncured
From your lifetime burden
Obscured
Away from the so-called humans
Impure
From your fellows' pious writings
Endure
The shaming climbing
[CHORUS]
Now that you're climbing the mount
Now is not the time to doubt
Anymore
Now you'll live above the clouds
No more spits from below crowds
Nevermore
Welcome to the Mount of Ailings
Welcome to the Mount of Ailings
Welcome to the Mount of Ailings
Welcome to the Mount of Ailings

From the dumps where you parked them all,
They came in peace to demonstrate
History's dark page, signed by the patrols
Under cover of you, long-silent state
For one hit received
Ten given back
Poor families grieve
Methodic wrack
Hundreds of men
Gunshot and drowned
Remember them
1961
How could you wash your blood-stained hands
In the waters of the Seine river
How could you wipe your Maghrebi friends
The workers, the soldiers, and your home builders
To the plateaux
Away from here
Humans, heroes
Ignored and feared
Hundreds of men
Gunshot and drowned
Remember them
1961
