Gavels

We're leaving the gavels at the door
No need to strain that metaphor
You asked us to tell you when you go too far
So here we are, here we are

We loved you then, we love you now
Remember when we took our bows?
Brothers in arms, embracing the stage
Crowds fade away, but we still play
Your fiction can't tangle history made

What children say still matters today
We traded hate and planted our fate

Sirens pull you out
Brothers pray you in
We will never let you drown
Show us you can swim

We're meeting your shadows at the door
You counted 12 steps, but what about more?
Unlucky 13 lands you a score
Winning the battle but losing the war

Sharing blame and wearing shame
New sirens call, but the feeling's the same
You are divine when you hold your ground
Not when your shadows push you around

What children say still matters today
We traded hate and planted our fate

Don't lie, I want to feel all your stories
Forgery won't bring you glory
Don't lie, who made you feel so alone?
Virtue murdered young
What you've done
It's time to own
