Coalesce Lyrics
"On Their Behalf"

Desperation, you've tempted me on

Too many times for me to

Turn my back on you again

I lust for your gift to ease the pain

For us all

Accept the fact that their death

Can prevent our fears

Not the plot of cowardice

But the birth of a savior

Acceptance of a martyr's role

Extricate these demons from sight

Risking life and limb

Vigil martyr, set the foundation

Of tolerance at any extreme

Even the price of suicide

Even a price so high as this

The seas of love must part

To act on their behalf

For while we weep, they still rape

Raping our patience for change

Off the hook for feigned insanity

But not off the hook from the public

In the media and in the flesh

A crucifixion will be in order

A celebration of politically corrects death

We will dance with our children once again

Their security is reinstated

By this bastard's sacrifice
