Osage Lyrics

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
