Intro
Oh
Oh
Oh
Verse 1
Silver buttons shine
Tall boots tread on sacred pines
Broad swords held in heavy hands
They claim a flag for open lands
Pre-Chorus
They speak with honey on the tongue
While old songs remain unsung
A map is drawn with blood red ink
Until the sun begins to sink
Chorus
Osiyo oginali
Friends become the ghosts
Osiyo oginali
Hosts are now the lost
Bound by the parchment and the pen
Broken by the hearts of men
Broken by the hearts of men
Verse 2
Every vow was a hollow frame
Trading spirit for a christian name
Ten thousand tears for every mile
Behind a pale and two-faced smile
Pre-Chorus
They speak with honey on the tongue
While old songs remain unsung
A map is drawn with blood red ink
Until the sun begins to sink
Chorus
Osiyo oginali
Friends become the ghosts
Osiyo oginali
Hosts are now the lost
Bound by the parchment and the pen
Broken by the hearts of men
Broken by the hearts of men
Bridge
Torn and trampled
Scarred and sampled
History is written by the sword
Forgive us not our greedy lords
We remember
We remember
Chorus
Osiyo oginali
Friends become the ghosts
Osiyo oginali
Hosts are now the lost
Bound by the parchment and the pen
Broken by the hearts of men
Broken by the hearts of men
Outro
The wind remembers
The ground remembers
Oh
Oh
The river carries old refrain
Still running where we remain
