RIFF-it good

Listen while you read!

The Basket or The Blade

I am lighting fires

I am lighting fires and burning everything

You are felling trees

Composing melodies that I will never sing

When the autumn comes

We will build our drums and find a place to play

Basket or the blade

Shaman or charade are you too strong to see

That I am so alone

Clinging to my throne until they come for me

Will you kiss my hair

As they drag me to the square

Or will you run, run away

Tell me

Are you

The basket or the blade

Am I a soldier

Returning to parades, oh will you

Catch me

And hold me while the cheers and echoes fade

Will you be the basket or the blade

I have never been

I have never been in front of

Such a crowd

Teeth and gleaming eyes

Don’t they realize they’re so

Insanely loud

Underneath their blade

I wonder if you’ll stay or if you’ll

Run, run away

Tell me

Are you

The basket or the blade

Am I a soldier

Returning to parades, oh will you

Catch me

And hold me while the cheers and echoes fade

Will you be the basket or the

Razor edge

Dividing me in two if I should

Lose my head

Would I be losing you or will you

Shelter me

From the fire and hide me in your shade

The basket or the blade

Oh the sirens

Awaken every hour

I can hear them now
