  • Job's coffin looks down
    Job's coffin looks down

    To see what mankind
    Is gonna do

    There is a grid
    Of
    Disempowerment

    All forces
    Are being called
    To dismantle this

    As Job's coffin looks down
    Job's coffin looks down

    To see
    What you're gonna do

    There exists
    A power of old
    Who wanted earth
    To be controlled

    But She
    And She alone
    Is her own

    She is her own

    Job's coffin looks down
    Job's coffin looks down


    I can't be proud,
    Proud of what I have done

    Since time
    Why do we women
    Give ourselves away?

    We give ourselves away
    Thinking somehow
    That will make him
    Want to stay

    Make him stay

    Job's coffin looks down
    At the day you
    Shut your power down

    You must uncreate
    That
    Destructive tendency

    Let your fire
    Start to
    Heal the fury
    Sister its time
    To bring it
    Back online

    As Job's coffin looks down
    Job's coffin looks down

    To see what you're gonna do
    To see what you're gonna do Writer/s: TORI ELLEN AMOS
