lyrics

Burn the wild flower in the early hour
Show our power make them flee make them cower
Clear the way for our fields tear them from their roots
They’ll know our trees by our fruits

Torch their homes to build our own
And where the soil is soaked in blood
We plow the dirt until our hate is sown

Set on Stolen lands
Tilled with enslaved hands
This farm grows strange fruit
Still reaping a bitter harvest
Caught in a loop

Red lines clandestine keep them with their own kind
We birthed a nation from their toil
Then buried their feet in the same soil

Built an empire upon black bones
And when their spines start to crack
Complain of the shifting floor beneath our thrones

Set on Stolen lands
Tilled with enslaved hands
This farm grows strange fruit
Still reaping a bitter harvest
Caught in a loop

This is not a single tree, this is not a wild forest this is an orchard with seeds planted all in a row
It was watered and fertilized with Hate and malice coaxing them to grow

Set on Stolen lands
Tilled with enslaved hands
This farm grows strange fruit
Still reaping a bitter harvest
Caught in a loop

This bitter harvest is death
This bitter harvest is sorrow
Plant hate today
And we starve tomorrow

We sow, we reap
We rinse, repeat
We sow we reap
We rinse, repeat

What will we plant this season?
What will we plant?
