[Chorus]
C#m
Blood and bones are what we're made of
B F#
Not enough steel to reconcile
G# C#m
Crying out into the darkness
B F#
One sure way to feel alive
G# C#m
Demon mouths lined with halos
B F#
Thinly veiled, but no surprise
G# C#m
Rest assured, a welcomed surplus
B F# F#m
Of systematic lies
[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
C#m
This child ain't mine but my hands are tied
B C#m
She's a life of bounty, and her skin is white
C#m
Under my care she'll play and thrive
B A C#m
In a few years, I'll be cast aside
C#m
I was once a noble daughter
B C#m
Our kingdom spanned the breadth of Ghana
C#m
But I was captured for the silver
B A C#m
Sent across the sea to a land unknown
C#m
Our rival sold me to some white men
B C#m
Skin as though it came from heaven
C#m
When they bound us to their will
B A C#m
They trapped themselves in hell as well
[Chorus]
C#m
Blood and bones are what we're made of
B F#
Not enough steel to reconcile
G# C#m
Crying out into the darkness
B F#
One sure way to feel alive
G# C#m
Demon mouths lined with halos
B F#
Thinly veiled, but no surprise
G# C#m
Rest assured, a welcomed surplus
B F# F#m
Of systematic lies

[Verse 2]
C#m
One brother white, the other black
B C#m
One brother loved and the other's trash?
C#m
One brother kept, the other sold
B A C#m
Kinship denied is kinship still
C#m
Bred in bone and bathed in blood
B C#m
Two brothers begged for light and love
C#m
White father twisting his own soul
B A C#m
To deny what all must know
[Chorus]
C#m
Blood and bones are what we're made of
B F#
Not enough steel to reconcile
G# C#m
Crying out into the darkness
B F#
One sure way to feel alive
G# C#m
Demon mouths lined with halos
B F#
Thinly veiled, but no surprise
G# C#m
Rest assured, a welcomed surplus
B F# F#m C#m
Of systematic lies
[Chorus]
C#m
Blood and bones are what we're made of
B F#
Not enough steel to reconcile
G# C#m
Crying out into the darkness
B F#
One sure way to feel alive
G# C#m
Demon mouths lined with halos
B F#
But its's no surprise
G# C#m
Rest assured, a surplus
B F# F#m F# F#m C#m
