Consider The Thief - Soldiers And Saints lyrics
Your rating:
Young man, please take the stands And still your tongue, for those you talk to try to sell you out. Young man, please understand; On heads of martyrs rests a message; You're the plank of wood in the plaintiff's eye, Just another kerosene depiction of the price Paid to burn a 'fool, ' but raise empires, boy On heads of martyrs rests a message, So please address the crowd, It seems that no one now is leaving until Every stone has had it's say. (As coats drop, Accusers stalk, And every stone Meets it's mark) Yet don't recant, we can't recant Through death we gain an audience Of open ears and open eyes, For nothing speaks as loud, lay down your life. You will yet be made, A soldier's soul of saints. So, rise up and be the same, for To lose your life is gain. So please, address the crowded Streets, from every stage that turns into an urn For every heretic that's burned. (So please address the crowd, It seems that no one now is leaving until Every stone is stilled.) Rise up and lay down your life. And don't recant, we can't recant Through death we gain an audience Of open ears and open eyes, For nothing speaks as loud, lay down your life. Young man, please take the stands Don't still your tongue, for those you talk to try to sell you out, With eyes set like cameras and With knives held behind their backs They're watching, They're watching you.
