No Heart But War

Under the armor No quiet drum Only a red light Singing what I become They asked if I was Shor returned I spat the name away No god should have to own the things I did in freedom's day I had no hearth, no childhood road No grave prepared for me Just red resolve beneath the plate And captives to set free Every chain makes a sound Every tyrant hears it late I was thunder in a body I was anger given weight No heart but war No sleep but the call I was made for freedom And I was built to fall No heart but war No peace in my name If I burn the cage to ashes Do not worship the flame I loved the ones who dared to rise But love was hard to hold Morihaus could laugh in storm I answered blood with gold Huna fell and something broke The map went black behind I learned how holy wrath can leave A murdered world behind Alessia prayed the sky awake To cool the rage in me But once a weapon knows its edge What else can it be? No heart but war No sleep but the call I was made for freedom And I was built to fall No heart but war No peace in my name If I burn the cage to ashes Do not worship the flame Let the scribes argue what I was Echo, man, or missing god I know the cries that called me down I know the fields my shadow trod If I was wrong, remember why If I was right, remember more A savior made of rage can free And still become a war No heart but war No sleep but the call I was made for freedom And I was built to fall No heart but war No crown, no throne, no claim If I burn the cage to ashes Do not worship the flame No heart but war No prayer without cost Where freedom learned my name Something human was lost
