Building The Nations Lyrics - Oh, Sleeper

To the husbands and daughters, brides and sons 

You put a tyrannic terror up on his throne 

He's collecting blood like diamonds from all 

Behind this door we face a war, it's claiming more 

Step back and take a look around you because we will 

Destroy, rebuild, plant the seeds to reclaim victory 

On this day we will 

Destroy, rebuild, plant the seeds to reclaim victory 

Though struggle we'll press on 

Mark my words, you can't find comfort in the arms of constrictors 

Lift back the scabs of content and prepare for change 

The doors swing wide and we're drawn inside 

The gold stained bones give off the only light 

Oh, I found your prints on a fleshy pulse 

You made the waves to meet my foot 

And all the siren songs that ring on and on and on 

I watched your vipers bring down the bishop 

And bait the chains to leave me hit 

Well I've brought all the archers 

We lit all the pyres and we've come to 

Destroy, rebuild, plant the seeds to reclaim victory 

On this day we will 

Destroy, rebuild, plant the seeds to reclaim victory 

Through struggle we press on 

We are the army of the far from perfect 

This is the call to tear down and rebuild this world
