Under the Gallows - Sire and Heir

Do it the same way
As the man before
A path at my feet laid
So, who am I complaining?

I fall weak for
A land that's free from
These lines made of evil

A math built on heartache
All have numbered days
The penance and toll paid
Foolish not ashamed

I fall weak for
"A life that's peaceful"
These lines they seem primeval

A point of contest made
"Are the sire and heir same?"
From the man that you saw fade
To the (kids) children you didn't raise?

We fall weak for
A system that's equal
But these lines they need upheaval

To each their own
This life can give you more
