Watch martyrs fall and destroy our trust
Knees buckle as their limbs begin to rust
While the meek are exonerated
They say "these are fine,
No need to evaluate.
"Throw them back you cowards or you'll be devoured
Don't you dare deviate.
You had the nerve
To spark the flame.
Extinguishing it before the masses could tell the difference
You had the nerve to spark the flame
Did you ever think that their arrogance would overcome
You. Brandish golden smiles
While you turn your cups onto disgrace
While we caress out tongues
Soaking up what's left on the floor.
We facilitate even though our principals are dead
With an unmarked grave we keep their place
With broken hands we hold our heads.
I want the world's attention
If only for a second
To condemn you at the top of my lungs
Your standards have been questioned.
We hold our hearts so they can stray
The walls we've built will bend and break.
What good is blood
When the payments are passe
Passion has lost its worth
And the players are un-phased.
You had the nerve
To spark the flame
Extinguishing it before the masses could tell the difference.
You had the nerve to spark the flame.
Did you ever think that their arrogance
Would overcome.
This is a cattle call
To every artist that dares
Don't conform to their confirmation.
Don't relinquish your thoughts.
I might lay down for a broken heart
But I'll stand for a broken jaw
Your alibis haven't been acquired though they could save us all
