Landa Wo

Their Lips Move

Their Lips Move

Their Lips Move

Their lips move softly
To let escape a choked complaint
Their lips move gently
To unpick the seams of the wire tyranny
The dying cactus thinks about the Atlas oasis
Freedom of speech dances on the plain, on fire
Landa Wo

Their Lips Move

Their lips move softly
To let escape a choked complaint
Their lips move gently
To unpick the seams of the wire tyranny
The dying cactus thinks about the Atlas oasis
Freedom of speech dances on the plain, on fire
