New Era - Karin Park

Either you are in or you’re out

This cannot be spoken about

A boat (port) awaits to carry you

Between all that you used to be and now

I can see the scar on your chin

You paint it white to cover it as if it was a sin

No matter what your name has been before

You have a new one now

It’s unescapable

I’ts a new era

The first time you will open the door

The seal has not been broken before

Put on your mother’s coat that you’ve been hiding in your drawer for so long

Cut your hair and wash your face and hands this is where you belong

It’s unescapable

I’ts a new era

Here comes a new era

Here comes the new angels

Here comes the new Jesus

Here comes the new Judas

Here comes the new power

Here comes the new danger

Here comes a new desperation

And it’s unescapable

It’s unescapable

I’ts a new era
