Systems & Stories - Osage

They scream, and they shove
But did they ever earn a place among the embers?
You stand firm, but I wonder
How you could ever turn a sting into a slaughter
Zeal and sedition
Kindling for the spark
Maxims met with violence
A Sisyphean war
Plead for peace
(With daggers up your sleeve)
And calculate the bounty on their silence
Save us from the agony of words
Take a life and dare them not to bend the knee
Let them drown
(Wash away the stain upon us)
Let them choke
(On their poison views)
Let them run
(To ruin)
Let the fire burn
They don't yield, you don't learn
Or did you know how this would end before it started?
You stand firm, and I wonder
How you could revel in the pain that you impart
Pardoned atrocity
(Oh how you quell your conscience)
Contemplating ethics in a catacomb
Save us from the nightmare it's become
If you didn't come for blood then how'd your hands get so red?
Let them drown
(Wash away the stain upon us)
Let them choke
(On their poison views)
Let them run
(To ruin)
Let the fire burn
Let the fire burn
Let them drown
(Wash away the stain upon us)
Let them choke
(On their poison views)
Let them run
(To ruin)
Let the fire burn
Give us ashes
Let the fire burn
