Lyrics On Their Behalf - Coalesce

On Their Behalf

Desperation, you’ve tempted me on too many times
For me to turn my back on you again
I lust for your gift to ease the pain for us all
Accept the fact that their death can prevent our fears
Not the plot of cowardice, but the birth of a savior
Acceptance of a martyr’s role
Extricate these demons from sight, risking life and limb
Vigil martyr, set the foundation of tolerance at any extreme
Even the price of suicide, even a price so high as this
The seas of love must part to act on their behalf
For while we weep, they still rape, raping our patience for change
Off the hook for feigned insanity
But not off the hook from the public
In the media and in the flesh, a crucifixion will be in order
A celebration of politically correct’s death
We will dance with our children once again
Their security is reinstated by this bastard’s sacrifice
