[Verse 1] Mother kept the door shut tight Kept our names in folded cloth Said don’t ask about that line Said don’t reach for what you lost You made a house of silence Set the table with a lie I grew up under your shadow With a question in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Thirty plus years, and here we are Standing here upon your grave Now you want the truth in pieces Now you want me to behave [Chorus] This a warning, creed for destruction (You built it) This a warning, creed for destruction (You hid him) Thirty plus years and now he’s gone Now you want to name my blood This a warning, creed for destruction (What have you done?) [Verse 2] You hid us from our grandfather Cut the roots and shut the gate Left his chair to gather dust Left his face to the weight Now the ring is in your palm Now the story hits your tongue But the dead don’t call for answers And the damage won’t be undone [Pre-Chorus] Thirty plus years, and here we are Standing here upon your grave Now you want the truth in pieces Now you want me to behave [Chorus] This a warning, creed for destruction (You built it) This a warning, creed for destruction (You hid him) Thirty plus years and now he’s gone Now you want to name my blood This a warning, creed for destruction (What have you done?) [Bridge] Say his name Say it plain Not for you Not for blame I want the facts I want the bone I want the life You kept from home [Final Chorus] This a warning, creed for destruction (You built it) This a warning, creed for destruction (You hid him) Thirty Five years and now he’s gone Now you want to name my blood This a warning, creed for destruction (What have you done?) Thirty Five years (Oh oh oooooh oh oh oh)
