Rags Parkland - Delilah in the Rubble Lyrics

2018 Off-Broadway
Rags Parkland Sings the Songs of The Future the Musical - Delilah in the Rubble Lyrics

The song is written by Andrew R. Butler.

I see Delilah in the rubble
And I know that she is me
I see the Pharaohs weeping
We have seen as they have seen

I see Alexander gloating
Over the once-free men of Thebes
I see the slavers rolling
Across the vast unknowing seas

I turn around and I see
The places we have been
And I realize we’re making
The same old mistakes again

I see Cain wandering in the desert
His blood is in our veins
I see the pogroms churning
I know that we could do the same

The demagogues are still orating
Separating us from them
Falsely delineating
What was the same when it began

I turn around and I see
The places we have been
And I realize we’re making
The same old mistakes again

I see Delilah in the rubble
And I call out her name
We bury Abel’s body
But still we bear the mark of shame

Who gets to count who counts among us
Will the counting ever end
Is the darkness in our hearts
A hole it’s possible to mend

I turn around I and I see
The places we have been

And I realize we’re making
The same old mistakes again (x3)
