Now you might have heard different
But I know it's a fact
That Jesus, Mary, Joseph
And the Apostle Paul were black
Ten letters I am writing
Each one reads the same
Nine circles I am drawing
One around your name
Land and freedom
Steel and faith
Tooth and bone and wire
Skin, scar, dirt and fire
It doesn't matter who you are
It does not matter what you say
Flesh shapes the day
Now it's clear as a pillar of smoke
And broken Starbuck's glass
Yeah, I support my troops
They wave black flags
They wear black masks
All the roads are closed
Smoke is rising from the fields
The monsters left their cages
An angel set them free
Land and freedom
Steel and faith
Tooth and bone and wire
Skin, scar, dirt and fire
It doesn't matter who you are
It does not matter what you say
Flesh shapes the day
Veteran's hospitals
And witches spells
Low to buy
And high to sell
And little girls
Collecting shells
And memories
Upon the shelves
And ringing bells
And high school choirs
And faithful dogs
Beside the fire
And billionaires
And open bars
And early exits
And judgments hard
And land and freedom
And steel and faith
And tooth and bone and wire
And skin, scar, dirt and fire
It doesn't matter who you are
Does not matter what the fuck you say
Flesh shapes the day
The lyrics FLESH SHAPES THE DAY of THE NIGHTWATCHMAN is also present in the album One man revolution (2007)
The Nightwatchman è il progetto solista di Tom Morello, chitarrista e compositore statunitense noto per le sue collaborazioni con band come Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave e Street Sweeper Social Club. Il nome d'arte si ispira al ruolo storico dei "Night Watchmen", guardie notturne che proteggevano le città dai ladri e dalle minacce. Morello utilizza questo progetto per esprimere la sua passione per la musica folk americana e per affrontare temi sociali e politici con un approccio diretto e incisivo. Le sue canzoni sono caratterizzate da testi poetici, melodie accattivanti e una forte componente di protesta. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Nightwatchman", "First Day of My Life" e "Burn It Down". Morello ha pubblicato diversi album con The Nightwatchman, tra cui "The Nightwatchman" (2007) e "Pandemonium: A Collection of Songs from the Streets" (2016).
