SONGS THEY USE TO HANG US

Track 5 — The Black Lantern Guild — “The Age of Ash and Crowns” They hum our names in taverns now With smiles sharp as wire They teach our verses to their kids Then change the words to fire They say we marched for gold and blood They say we loved the flame They leave out what we stood against And teach the lie as name They took the truth They shaved it thin Till it fit inside a lie Then wrapped it up in melody So no one asks them why These are the songs they use to hang us Soft enough to sing along They sound like heroes Sound like history Till you hear what’s wrong These are the songs they use to hang us Every chorus tightens slow If you’re humming You’re already standing On the trapdoor Below They play them at the executions Low and almost kind So the crowd won’t hear the necks Or see the fear behind They call it tradition Call it keeping peace But every note is hammered From a name they had to erase These are the songs they use to hang us Clean enough to pass as truth They don’t scream They don’t threaten They just teach the lie as youth These are the songs they use to hang us Written sweet, remembered wrong Every myth needs a melody To carry bodies along They didn’t kill us They re-recorded us Cut out the doubt Cut out the blood Left just enough flame To sell the fear Left just enough truth To make it stick Sing it softer (SOFTER) Sing it sweet (SWEET) Sing it till (NO ONE) Feels the feet (KICK) These are the songs they use to hang us And the crowd knows every word They’ll swear they loved us once As they tighten What they heard These are the songs they use to hang us So remember what they cost If the tune sounds safe and simple Ask who’s missing From the song Somewhere a child hums our name Without knowing Who it killed
