In Defense Of Our Good Name Lyrics

Returning to solace

 So sweet like honeysuckle on the tongue

 The sound of silence blesses my ears

 Enveloping like the earth I will one day lie in

 Metropolis is bad to wither the soul

 Roaring concrete and steel washes you in blood.

 So let you point and laugh

 Provincial ain't so bad.

 Take me back down to where I belong

 To rust in rivers.

 I do not covet any man's life

 I know my place all to well

 One man's paradise is another man's living hell.

 To each their own

 Generations ago made this place my own

 The roots are deep and strong

 Carry them wherever I go.

 Never wanted your approval

 Never wanted your acceptance

 Never wanted to be anything but me

 Never wanted to be anywhere but here.

 Carry me Southeast bound home

 To speak in defense of our good name

 Lay me to rest with my kin

 In the ground of God's country.

 Lash out at any who would smear you with hate

 Deify no one, Never crawl ashamed

 The past screams injustice on Southern night wind

 Whips Manacles Chains Musket balls

 A dark history never forgotten

 Only misconception remains.

 Speak in defense of our good name

 The blood of kin grants absolution

 I'll join them soon enough kin the ground of God's country.

 Never wanted your acceptance

 Never wanted your approval

 Never wanted to be anything but me

 Never wanted to be anywhere but here.
