The Kin - See

Would you be there when the empire falls
Faces change, people talk
Vote for a fool and you go to war
When the bough breaks*

Would you be there when the ocean comes
To clean the state of mistakes we made
You eat rotten apples, you vomit out snakes
When the bough breaks

Don’t you see
Don’t you see
Don’t you see that man
Who won’t stop for anyone?

Would you be there at the end of the day
The lights are out, the future’s gone
Will you be there, when the bough breaks

Will you be there, to take the throne
To hold the flare of truth ALONE
The old will die for you to stand, RISE UP
When the bough breaks

Don’t you see
Don’t you see
Don’t you see that man
Who won’t stop for anyone?

I can only tell you I won’t make you
Be that man again
It may shake me but won’t break me
When the cradle falls again*

Don’t you see
Don’t you see
Don’t you see that man
Who won’t stop for anyone?




* Słowa te pochodzą z kołysanki o dziecku w kolebce na drzewie. Oto druga zwrotka tej kołysanki:
"When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall,
And down will come Baby,
Cradle and all"

"Kiedy konar się złamie,
kolebka spadnie,
I w dół spadnie dziecko,
kołyska i wszystko"
