Lesser Known Saint - From Ovens to Heavens lyrics

The heat of Heaven bears down on ma** scale My ears ring the humming of the world As the spin falls short of making mark This is not what was offered As neglect turns to misguided a**ault Clogging your freeways This is more than you offered Waking up in a shower stained with my patriot pride This small-town corporate ride / free to all willing blind Ties leaving much undone Raw stock creeps through my veins now Tainting old blood Mixing thrill and disquiet for those to sway Running red lights is now public routine Each incident seen favors those in the clear It isn't a crime if we all follow suit Unlawful concern is in fashion this year Hostility sought without due concentration Historical value is such trite retort You lack the conviction to burn down these bridges It's all out of your hands – All I ask is you pa** me the torch I said it's no longer in your hands I didn't ask you to burn this bridge Just pa** me the torch You turn the channel but it's all fear Is this more entertaining? Sales wrapped in shock and awe And they say – this is more entertaining What you can't fight is a foe invented for you on the screen So why worry for life and love with your dignity gone? Squandered time lost, never meant to recover Earned net worth once learned Teaching us lessons the hard way What have we become if we live through this? Still counting minutes two hours past dawn Can't you see? – we take nothing from this run Can't you see? – it's not red if your gone Don't you dare slow down Stripped down in teeth for your pall Give me the Jaws of Life – You should have driven home
