Our Republic

Songs: Ohia

you should know, 
trouble comes from a passionate word and 
you should know, 
passion comes from a passing word 
dark blue they, our banners flayed 
and burning to the base 
submit to draw closer 
the glance you’d once given me 
an attempt of the old position 
they impose their pushing in steep heroics 
these fine others 
i owe my lifted, tho’ wounded head 
and every side of you to a man 
there have been signals 
these are now joined by a future 
and only say which decayed 
not live opposite the failed republic 
time will meet and pass you by 
you should know 
trouble comes from a passionate word 
you should know 
passion comes from a troublesome word 
you should know 
trouble sounds like a comforting word 
you should know 
passion comes from a passing word
