Lyrics
John Riis Became One Of Them
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You'll beg for death before the end
Before your end
Rest your head oh ghost of treason
Lay your weary head to rest
'Cause should you leave us without reason
Then cross thy name and so be blessed
Water turns to wine
Saviors turn to legacies
Give back what was mine
My friends fall to gunshot fire
Oil found, burn the ground
This time none shall live
Oil found, burn the ground
They'll never see it coming
We'll burn the ground
Broken bones will push me 'till my enemies lie dead
Broken bones have pushed me 'till my enemies lie dead
Will lie dead
Father forgive me for I have sinned, the blood falls from the arches
Father forgive me for I have sinned, the blood falls from the arches
Repent for now we sleep
