God Save Us
Ill Niño Lyrics

God save us!
A plea for divine intervention in the situation at hand.

This new life has brought us this new knife
The current circumstance is dangerous and potentially deadly.

It's worthless and mindless to preach. I resist that!
Attempts to change the situation through rhetoric have proven ineffective.

I am what you despise
The artist embodies characteristics that are scorned by society.

I am just a disgrace you will never embrace
The artist is an outcast who is not accepted by others.

The strength will rise
In the face of adversity, the singer will become more resilient and powerful.

Everything that I do burns against you
The singer's actions are in direct opposition to the beliefs of those around them.

These words are just a speck
The artist's words are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

In what you call my life's wreck
The artist's life has been tumultuous and disastrous according to the opinions of others.

Mistakes forsake and every word will break
The artist has made errors that have caused their words to lose credibility.

This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
The singer's true self is hidden and not easily recognizable.

All the pressure is breaking down on me
The pressure of the situation is causing the artist to feel overwhelmed.

I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
The singer will pursue what they believe is rightfully theirs without delay.

Don't believe in what you want for me
The singer rejects the wishes and expectations of others for their life.

El control has brought us
The current situation has been caused by those in power.

El color de sangre y hambre, it's our turn
The color of blood and hunger signifies that it is the artist's turn to take action.

We will burn!!
The artist and their allies will rise up and take aggressive action against their oppressors.

Liar! This life is mine
The singer rejects the notion that their life belongs to anyone else.

My intentions are real, this is my killing field
The singer's motivations are genuine and they are willing to fight to achieve their goals.

Our souls turn to rust, turn our bodies to dust
As time passes, the artist and their comrades will decay and ultimately perish if they do not act.

My life is just a trek
The artist's life is a journey that will ultimately end in death.

In what you call my last breath
The artist's final moments will be seen as insignificant by others.

Mistakes forsake, then every word will break
The singer's past errors have made their words ineffective and unconvincing.

This new life has brought us this new knife!!
The current situation is becoming increasingly dangerous and the stakes are higher than ever before.

How can I be oppressed and then confess?
The singer questions how they can be expected to admit wrongdoing while simultaneously being mistreated.

BREAK!!!!
The singer is frustrated and at their breaking point, and may take drastic action.

God save our souls, yeah
A reaffirmation of the plea for divine help in the face of grave danger.
