Martinets from Sister Band by Sister Band

you got "woe is me"
written on your forehead
and a losing streak
longer than a mile

every rifle spoke
the breaking of your oath
and promises are birds
falling in your sights

you gotta remember what she said
like it was tattooed on your arm
the harm that was done
and the ending that has come

every rifle spoke
the breaking of your oath
and promises are birds
falling in your sights

you forget your secret talent
are words that don't hold power
and nothing you could say would change a thing

you forget your secret talent
is singing like a fountain
while sorrow sets like martinets
along our southern seas

you saw her In a mask
you didn't even ask
you saw her in a cage
you didn't even stay

every rifle spoke
the breaking of your oath
and promises are birds
falling in your sights

you forget your secret talent
are words that don't hold power
and nothing you could say would change a thing

you forget your secret talent
is singing like a fountain
while sorrow sets like martinets
along our southern seas
