Absolute Lyrics – Mali
Absolute is a haunting surrender to the absolute power held by autocrats and people in power, and the many promises that they’ve broken along the way.

Absolute Lyrics
You walked a mile to tell the stories of your people
But You strayed another from the truth
And now You’re breaking all the promises and trusts
They had in You
They toiled for hours until they broke their backs and sickles
Waiting for the fickle-minded rain
And now they’re counting on the only hope they think still remains
Did all Your fame and fortune drive integrity away?
Were You just building castles in the sky?
Would all Your saints go marching
For our brothers in the frey or watch them die?
Now You can do what You want to do
Your powers are absolute
You’re gonna reign forever
And we can say what we want to say
Pray for a better day
You’re gonna reign forever
Now You, can do what You want to do
Your powers are absolute
You’re gonna reign forever
And we can say what we want to say
Pray for a better day
You’re gonna reign forever
But You strayed another from the truth
And now You’re breaking all the promises and trusts
They had in You
They toiled for hours until they broke their backs and sickles
Waiting for the fickle-minded rain
And now they’re counting on the only hope they think still remains
Did all Your fame and fortune drive integrity away?
Were You just building castles in the sky?
Would all Your saints go marching
For our brothers in the frey or watch them die?
Now You can do what You want to do
Your powers are absolute
You’re gonna reign forever
And we can say what we want to say
Pray for a better day
You’re gonna reign forever
Now You, can do what You want to do
Your powers are absolute
You’re gonna reign forever
And we can say what we want to say
Pray for a better day
You’re gonna reign forever
