Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The crickets made our song
Daily rhythms like a band
Until these heroes come along
Spilling sewage in our land
[Verse 2]
Tell the kids there's a messiah
Tell the soldiers it's their boss
Two hectares of olive groves
And lavender cutting costs
[Verse 3]
Yell out as loud as a weather god
A thunderstorm, an avalanche
An Anzu bird, a bull
A bomb inside a Cadillac
[Chorus]
Like the hero
Killing the guardian of the forest
Set a white-hot flame to the cedars
Reduced to wasteland
[Chorus]
Like the hero
Killing the guardian
An omen of an omen
[Verse 4]
From slung stones of child soldiers
Names engraved into the sun
To smart bombs against Goliath
In paradise and beyond
[Verse 5]
From the mother of the Jordan
Through the white stone tomb
A plate in bed, a fighter jet
A wake in someone's living room
[Verse 6]
For the death of a villain
Mourned with fragrant rose
Burning sacrificial herbs
To light the maggot in his nose
[Verse 7]
Bones from stone, blood from sea
I want more life in between the trees
Bring sweet words to the quarrel
Friendship burns with special oil
[Verse 8]
Above the column of limitless fire
To the animal womb, hungry and tired
Ensnared by craving through countless earths
Hastening through this round of rebirths
[Bridge]
The great screaming, the great heating
A bright pearl with dust covering
[Chorus]
Like the hero
Killing the guardian of the forest
Set a white-hot flame to the cedars
Reduced to wasteland
[Chorus]
Like the hero
Killing the guardian of the forest
Set a white-hot flame to the cedars
Reduced to wasteland
[Outro]
An omen of an omen of an omen of an omen of an omen
