for the sacred protectors of life and for the sacred protected

for Renee Good and Parady La and Frank Porter Jr. and Alex Pretti, for all the names we don’t know

this song is inspired by @starhawk_spiral and the tactics of bringing the dead with us, of spiritual haunting, of always offering a way back to humanity 

full song coming soon another time ❤️

lyrics:
Ancestor taken before her time
You stole her
And she was a mother
And she was a poet
And she was a wife
And she was a neighbor 
Who cared for other neighbors 
And you took her life

Quit your job
We are the ghost of Renee Good
And we are the voices of all of the people you’ve caged and killed
And those they’ve left behind

Quit your job
We are the cries of those you’ve detained
And we have a power that you do not understand
And we won’t leave you in peace again

Ancestor taken before his time
He was a father and
He was an uncle
On the way to the store 
To feed his family
And you took his life

Quit your job
We are the ghost of Parady La
And we are the voices of all of the people you’ve caged and killed
And those they’ve left behind

Quit your job
We are the cries of those you’ve detained
And we have a power that you do not understand
And we will remain

A song for this upcoming day of mourning, Tisha b'Av 🤲 May we be held in our communal heartbreak for this utterly broken world.

Melody derived from the Ashkenazi trop (cantillation) for Eicha (text read on Tisha b’Av). Hebrew text from opening phrase of Eicha (sung in Ashkenazi trop). English and melody by Batya Levine. 

אֵיכָה יָשְׁבָה בָדָד, הָעִיר רַבָּתִי עָם--הָיְתָה, כְּאַלְמָנָה
Eicha yashva vadad, ha'ir rabasi am haysa k'almanah
How is she sitting alone, the city who was once full of her people, how she is like a widow

Oh weary one, lay your head down and rest your aching bones on the ground
Oh fearful one, lay your head down and let your body breathe on the ground
Oh hopeless one, lay your head down and rest your heavy heart on the ground
Oh yearning one, lay your head down and sing your song into the ground
Oh rageful one, lay your head down and let your tears flow into the ground
Oh weary one, lay your head down and rest your aching bones on the ground
Oh Ancient One, as we lay our heads down, please lay with us on the ground
