New Brighton (feat. ANOHNI)

I slipped on the pebbles on the way to the gate Held my balance on the cuff of your shirt You were up-set We were going to the Port Elizabeth's port Up on the hill, you did point was Frederik's fort I was up-set: Never live in fear again No, never again And all the seraphim And all the cherubim Never knew them before, don't know them now What about my mother and her sisters? Where was their name? I was up-set I rose up, sing: Never live in fear again No, never again Never, never, never again Never, never again Never leave in fear again No never again And all the seraphim And all the cherubim (Did they burn their eyes?) Up in the black New Brighton sky Was a flare Met with strangled cries And a strange joy in the air Did they avert their eyes?
