Whip of the Matriarch Lyrics

Gather 'round the fire, let me tell a tale

Once were useless bastards houndin' on my trail

One by one I eased them of their ego trip

But they found no comfort at the end of my whip

'Cause my rhyme and reason

Robbed them of their treason

Now it's hunting season

If you fight for me, I will fight for you

There's no faint defense that I can't undo

It's not complicated, it's a simple truth

If you come for me, you'll leave black and blue

See the state of grace in this motherland

You will find that fate didn't go as planned

See the backs of men bleedin' from the whips

Feel the tyrant's lash as it tears and rips

But my mind is humming

The cowards' running

The time is coming

If you fight for me, I will fight for you

There's no alibi that I can't see through

It's no obligation, it's just what I do

I'm your matriarch, I'm your tried and true

See the hidden blade in the underhand

You will find the fools who don't understand

When you grind your heels in the backs of all

When revolution comes you'll be up against the wall

'Cause the wind is turning

My heartbeat's churning

And men are learning

If you cry for me, I will fight for you

There's no obstacle that I can't break through

There's a time for justice and it's overdue

I'm your matriarch, I'm your tried and true

I'm your matriarch, I'm your matriarch

I'm your matriarch, and I'd die for you
