We couldn't find heaven on earth

[Intro]
Brass breath rises over Addis dusk
Snare rolls like thunder from the south

[Verse 1]
Ruby light bleeds on Entoto crest
Militia shadows in parade dress
Baritone sax shouts warning call
Trumpet cuts sharp through market stall

[Chorus]
Horn uprising under crimson sky
Freedom cries, we will not die
Drumline breaks the ancient chain
Hope ascends with brass refrain

[Verse 2]
Tambourine shivers in lantern glow
Harmonica weaves tales of woe
Tenor sax sings the people's pain
Flugelhorn soothes like summer rain

[Chorus]
Horn uprising under crimson sky
Freedom cries, we will not die
Drumline breaks the ancient chain
Hope ascends with brass refrain

[Bridge]
Call and response in the city's heart
Crowd roars back, tearing silence apart
Baritone growl meets trombone wail
Voices rise, no fear to fail

[Chorus]
Horn uprising under crimson sky
Freedom cries, we will not die
Drumline breaks the ancient chain
Hope ascends with brass refrain

[Outro]
Lanterns dim but spirit stays
Brass fades out in smoky haze
Echoes linger on cobblestone
Addis breathes in freedom's tone

Tripping Out
