once again we stand before her
soaked in oil
we ignore the fever
the smoke and flames
we forget our children bear the burden of our consequence
i bury my head deeper in my hands
what will you say before your daughters
before your sons
when they accuse you
and all that you can do is beg them for a second chance
what will you say
what will we say
before this world at the end
crude dripping from our tongue
we'll say
i'll say nothing at all
the world you love
we committed to burning it down
blood and oil
say with me: blood and oil
blood and oil
let the wicked carry on
let the flames burn out
let the silence of the ashes be our lasting curse
