Raise my rifle Swung for stars Stole some falcon’s wings Yeah my city wears a rusty heart But my oh my It’s beating still Age old tales are whispered slowly Once were colored juvenile You’ve laid down your ax and hold me I’ll confess my wicked smile Afraid of being terrified
Fall like feathers Rest like stones I adore none I am not some kingless “thug” I am not a coward’s son
Dare I chance and dare I gamble Shiver now my fractious skin Fortune free and empty handed I say a riskless life ain’t worth a thing Useless as a wedding ring
I will claim my history And I will lose my battles not And I’ll take what is meant for me and something mummbly mummbly onslaught
