Thus Always To Tyrants - The Oh Hellos

Fell tyrant's rule all over Their tyranny must end Make your stand against evil For we are all free men Death to tyrants May their schemes be overthrown Death to tyrants May their blood drip from the throne Lay siege to all their strongholds Deliver them to death Give them pain and agony Until their final breath Death to tyrants May their schemes be overthrown Death to tyrants May their blood drip from the throne Call to arms Rise up, we ride to war Conquest, tyrants shall rule no more Now ride swift Our hearts are filled with hate Metal warriors assassinate Fell tyrant's rule all over Their tyranny must end Make your stand against evil For we are all free men Death to tyrants May their schemes be overthrown Death to tyrants May their blood drip from the throne

Outside there's a rusty pickup Underneath a shed Mockingbird's nest in the tailpipe Empty feed sack in the bed They took away my keys Sayin' I'm too old to drive It's like they're tryin' to bury me While I'm still alive I always wanted a son I always wanted a woodshed I always wanted to ride on an open range And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess Even pictures we never take Memories we'll never make still fadе I never did all I wanted to do But I always wantеd to They talk like I can't hear 'em When they have to change my sheets They're gettin' tired and angry 'Cause I won't accept defeat Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred Hell, I'm only 95 I ain't raising no white flag While I'm still alive I always wanted a son I always wanted a woodshed I always wanted to ride on an open range And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess Even pictures we never take Memories we'll never make still fade I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to My Marie showed up this mornin' Floatin' right above that chair And she smiled the sweetest smile at me As she hovered in the air When that fever stole her from me I was 27 and she was just 25 I never dreamed I'd see my angel again While I'm still alive I always wanted a son I always wanted a woodshed I always wanted to ride on an open range And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess Even pictures we never take Memories we'll never make still fade I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to

Climbing trees, like we did when we were children Scaling walls, the walls that took us years to build Climbing trees, haven't much since we were children Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken Safe inside the walls we built, we found ourselves a home Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Girl, you've never loved Climbing trees, haven't much since we were children Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken But heartache pales in comparison to love

Well, he said to me, "Child, I'm afraid for your soul These things that you're after, they can't be controlled And this beast that you're after will eat you alive And spit out your bones" She'll string you along, she'll sell you a lie There's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife There is no courage in flirting with fear to prove you're alive I've seen the true fates of the things you call life The song and the siren that holds your desire Death, she is cunning and clever as hell And she'll eat you alive She'll eat you alive
