Oscar Lolang
Watcher of the Wall
[Spoken word intro]
Malam dan siang yang tidak pernah bertatap muka
Sebab diantara nya kemilau jingga masuk mengukir nama
Akan jurang yang membedakan diri mereka masing-masing
[Verse 1]
The night is holding down the sun
It's darkest before dawn
I set my eyes on this wall that
Separates us all
Ooh-oh-oh
This time now I know-how
Ooh-oh-oh
We're not the same after all
Ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 2: Oscar Lolang]
When Friday calls all gather round
And mocking can be found
No responds made on Sunday
Yet you here always wail
Ooh, I recognize this wall
Hmm, hat separates us all
Ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Bridge]
Dey bin hyah, dey bin hyah
My medah's bin birthin ever since uh child an o a na-na
Help dem Lord, help dem Lord
Me voices was heard in the heat tso tse day and isy cool o de nah
Kumbaya, Lord, Kumbaya, Kumbaya, Lord
Oh our Lord is never he, it, or she
Our Lord is never as well as Fa'afafine
Shut down, shut down, shut down
Hallelujah from the poplar tree
Oh yes, we are different an' all ben Papua been bloodin' thousands of death toll
If we crash, the military will have all the money
If we peace, they gwyne lost their investments and their honey
But if they force to own the sole all money
We will shed in forever constant irony
Save me, shoot me
Save me, rape me
Lord, if my tongue split to three, then I'll strike up upon thee
But somehow upon all of my puffed-up-ness
We sank down deep in this river full of Victorian dress
Break it down, Lord! Break it down!
If I had a hammer this holy then I'll hit it every day
If I had a phone this loud I'll ring it everyday
Don't, no more Captain Ahab
This is a wreck ship and we've been sailing from the massive crack in Africa
What if I named the whale "Milk"
It would've bring us calamities that are wrapped in silk
Oh God, in the name of Bhinneka
We're expecting you, Lord of the Saints
I gaze up to those flyin' crane
They flew into volcanic plume
That went to meet their hurtful doom
Willingly
Peacefully
I am the watcher of the wall
I am the watcher
I am the hot iron ball
Peace be upon y'all, fuckers
Shalom
Ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Outro]
Tapi kata rendra
Tanpa oposisi mereka akan sepi dan onani
Apakah malam bisa gelap?
Jika matahari tidak berperan di tempat lain
Mana indah bianglala tunggal warna
Bagaimana kelahiran tanpa pelukan Yoni kepada Lingga
Bahasa di tiap lidah, selera di tiap tafsir, Aamiin di tiap iman, Batas di tiap identitas
Karna tanpa oposisi rezim terus berkuasa, Tanpa oposisi persepsi memakan kepala sendiri
