The Rise And Run Lyrics - The Honor System

100 hammers blazing in the sun 

The harmonies of the banished ones 

Along the tower the guard looks on 

Rifle drawn, trigger finger numb 

Along the road, echoes the endless song 

As a nation rises up a hundred hammers sounds off 

What does it take to pound it into dust 

I want to pound it into dust 

Broke these chains, exchanged for razorblades 

Cut to length and tied it off and still the hammers sound off 

The sum of all fears made these jailhouses homes 

Cinder blocked and razor wired them all 

A grand pause freezes the courtroom, verdict's handed down 

Ears bleed at the gavels final sound 

The general' seeing ghosts 

Shuts his eyes and footsteps close 

Everyone is a criminal 

Have you been unconscious of 

The battle cries, the trumpet calls 

Can you hear the voices of 

The violins explode, the hammer hits crescendo 

The symphony is composed 

Every note's a lie, anything goes
