Protest The Hero - Drumhead Trial Lyrics
From the unrelenting beat of a pounding drum(Come anew)From the seizing breast of a wicked beast(We survive)In the hallowed marriage of sound and revolt(Come anew)To the hollowed, disparaged, she'd and molt, overdue!Splintering fingers, gore strewn across each hand(Sinking stone [x2])Splintering fingers, gore strewn across each hand(Sinking stone [x2])Pray for a way out of herePray for a wayNo animal in all the kingdom shall ever strike me downA coward in his finest momentHeavy is the head that wears the crown, c'mon!Be swift and painless, not a glancing blow right to the back of the headTo the back of the headBe swift and painless, not a glancing blow(Sinking stone [x2])Pray for a way out of herePray for a wayA long, slow pull on the briarReady, aim,When the fire burns, callusingTopping off the urns, a sound remainsLook to the actor in the heavy armor, his metal shakesListen well to the deafening clamor whimpering makesLook now to the unassuming, unwaveringStanding before the heavens, screamingBring on the stormBring on the storm, bring on the rainBring on the jesters and bring on the painBring on the storm, bring on the rainBring on the jesters and bring on the painThe seed is planted, let the roots reach far and wide, and let it grow tallLet the rings remain intact on the insideAnd though the autumn brings a fall of leavesLet it grow tall(We come anew [x3])The seed is planted, let the roots reach far and wide, and let it grow tallLet the rings remain intact on the insideAnd though the autumn brings a fall of leavesLet it grow tall(We come anew [x3])Look now to the unassuming, unwaveringStanding before the heavens, screamingBring on the storm [x2]
