Axé Acappella

Did they stop to notice?
Are you hearing this sound?
Pulsing sharp in the air
It deserves our attention!
Get the sensors ready
To really pick it up
Shut down the engines
So we can hear it pound
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Your call

Sound of a cutting edge, a world sick beyond measure
Bleeds immediate profit but the cure doesn’t show
In a remote alley, a saintly voice makes a mention
A fierce a cappella axé hints at the beat

Did they stop to notice?
Are you hearing this sound?
Notice it won’t stop
In light of this condition
Giant ego games
Giving no rest to the fatal pulse
That keeps going till it’s furious
Becoming deafening
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Your call

Enough with the flattery, with the decorations, making excuses
It’s war, tooth for tooth, tearing only raw flesh
A hoarse singer screams alone in the middle of a crowd
A fierce a cappella axé hints at the beat

And if it hits, it’ll kill!
And if it hits, it’ll shake!
There’ll be nothing left but the bed of a river
That flows the burden of a dark past
While man doesn’t wake up
Idiot! Doesn’t even notice!
Hangs himself with the rope of his own tension
And an axé made a cappella
Is turning into a heavy beat

Now it’s painful crying, it’s crushed dreams, it’s the end of the trail
Already mortally wounded, a wolf banished from the pack
Silently a good God watches over the sacred land of ingratitude
A fierce a cappella axé hints at the beat! (3x)
