Ghosts of Grenfell - LowKey, Kaia, Karim Kamar

The night our eyes changed

Rooms where, love was made and un-made in a flash of the night

Rooms where, memories drowned in fumes of poison

Rooms where, futures were planned and the imagination of children built castles

in the sky

Rooms where, both the extraordinary and the mundane were lived

Become forever tortured graves of ash

Oh you political class, so servile to corporate power

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, for us?

Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice

Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, for us?

This corporate manslaughter will haunt you

Now hear 'em scream

Words can not express, please allow me to begin though

1:30am heard the shouting from my window

People crying in the street, watchin' the burning of their kinfolk

Grenfell Tower, now historically a symbol

People reaching, from their windows, screaming for their lives

Pleading, with the cries, tryna reason with the skies

Dale youth birthed champions, comparison is clear though

That every single person in the building was a hero

So don’t judge our tired eyes in these trying times

'Cause we be breathing in cyanide, the entire night

They say Yasin saw the fire and he ran inside

Who’d thought that would be the site where he and his family died

The street is like a graveyard, tombstones lurching over us

Those shouting out to their windows now wish they never woke them up

Wouldn’t hope your worst enemy to go in this position

Now it’s flowers for the dead and printed posters for the missing, come home

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, for us?

Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice

Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, for us?

This corporate manslaughter will haunt you

Now hear 'em scream

I see trauma in the faces of all those that witnessed this

Innocence in the faces of all those on the missing list

See hopes unfulfilled, ambitions never achieved

No I’m not the only one that sees the dead in my dreams

Strive for the bravery of Yasin, artistic gift of Khadija

Every person, a unique blessing to never be repeated

Strive for the loyalty of siblings that stayed behind with their parents

Pray that every loved one lost can somehow make an appearance

We are, calling like the last conversations with their dearest

Until we face, what they face we will never know what fear is

We are, calling for survivors rehoused in the best place

Not to be left sleeping in the West Way for 10 days

We’re, calling for arrests made and debts paid

In true numbers known for the families who kept faith

We’re, calling for safety in homes of love

They are immortalised forever, the only ghosts are us, I wonder

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, for us?

Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice

Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, or us?

Did they die, for us?

This corporate manslaughter will haunt you

Now hear 'em scream
