Protest The Hero - Bone Marrow lyrics

Thus now he knelt before the ruins, cold of sweat and heat of flame,

to vow the severed heads of those who brought the village to its shame

Those who plundered, pillaged, pilfered lives would not accept the blame

He would find them all with a mighty vengeance paid for in their pain

Shah-jan, the king of kings, wore seven rings and sixty feathers plucked from sparrow’s wings

Growing fat on the throne where he sat like a stone as a man who has known no hunger or shown no mercy

in promises broke like a bone. Dispersed about his people, Rostam calls out for his equals in thirst to rise and cast curse,

exact the worst revenge on enemies to hang from trees

The royalty must die like common beggars and petty thieves

Those who rise against us will be murdered where they stand

Let our arrows rain from the sky to drain the blood into the land

If a mortal stands before us, strike him down with sleight of hand. And if heaven rides against us, then

god himself must be damned
