[Verse 1] Rose petals on the floor Like they fell from your hands I wore my best white dress For your red-stained plans [Verse 1] oceans cry and trees bleed I seen it in the field mud on my boots ash in the yield juggalos read by the split of the dawn rap for the law when the last song's gone the biblical wrath got a name in my jaw I keep walking forward through the crack and the saw people get saved when the sky turns red I hear the old words like a knife in my head [Pre-Chorus] one grip on my hip one hand out firm hold the line now let the weak things learn god of war with a crown of rust if we break tonight we still rise from dust [Chorus] One grip on my hip one hand out firm One grip on my hip let the whole world turn god of war come restore this land union confusion in the dust of my hand [Verse 2] I seen saints in the rain with their faces worn I seen thieves in the light at the edge of the storm system of restore when the bones re-lock every wound got a voice every chain got a knock confusion in the square but I keep my name I don't bow to the smoke I don't feed the flame the people get saved not by gold or pride but by fire in the chest and a pulse inside [Pre-Chorus] one grip on my hip one hand out firm hold the line now let the weak things learn god of war with a crown of rust if we break tonight we still rise from dust [Chorus] One grip on my hip one hand out firm One grip on my hip let the whole world turn god of war come restore this land union confusion in the dust of my hand [Bridge] [Breakdown] When the river splits and the iron sings I keep my vow through the breaking things no one gets lost if the call stays loud I lift that banner through the smoke and crowd [Final Chorus] One grip on my hip one hand out firm One grip on my hip let the whole world turn god of war come restore this land union confusion in the dust of my hand One grip on my hip one hand out firm One grip on my hip til the end time's burned You called me princess first Then you pulled that stunt Pretty words, ugly teeth And I still bit my tongue [Pre-Chorus] Now the room smells sweet But my heart smells smoke You said, "stay a while" Then you cracked the joke I saw the warning sign In your gold-lit grin Summer loves burn fast When the trouble wins [Chorus] Rose petals, rose petals Cut me, then you kiss me Rose petals, rose petals Love of the summer, risky Princess with a bruise Still I hold my crown Rose petals, rose petals I don't let you take me down [Verse 2] You turned every small thing Into a little war Left your fingerprints On my favorite door I laughed in the hallway Like I didn't know How your sweet talk hit Like a thrown bouquet You made a mess of me Then you called it art But I learned your name From the shape of my scars [Pre-Chorus] Now the room smells sweet But my heart smells smoke You said, "stay a while" Then you cracked the joke I saw the warning sign In your gold-lit grin Summer loves burn fast When the trouble wins [Chorus] Rose petals, rose petals Cut me, then you kiss me Rose petals, rose petals Love of the summer, risky Princess with a bruise Still I hold my crown Rose petals, rose petals I don't let you take me down [Bridge] I was never your prize Never your perfect scene I can wear the scar And still look clean If you want my heart You can meet me whole Not in a pile of petals Not under your control [Final Chorus] Rose petals, rose petals Cut me, then you kiss me Rose petals, rose petals Love of the summer, risky Princess with a bruise Still I hold my crown Rose petals, rose petals I don't let you take me down Rose petals, rose petals I found my way around
