The Oh Hellos - Torches (Lyrics)

Lyrics:
I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth
it's got you burning at the stake
innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take
and Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all
as he sets our torch aflame
chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create
over and over, again
we keep that old wheel turning
we spin it around
I got a terror I can't shake pushing down on my lungs
it's got me lying there awake with a hand on a gun
while turning shadows into shapes
Mother Fortuna, O, she makes sisters of us all
when the faces in her wake
look more like our own than the effigies we immolate
over and over, again
we keep that old wheel turning
over and over, again
we lay the next spoke down
over and over, again (oceans will roll in)
over and over, again
we spin it around

It’s ridiculous how little recognition this band gets

[@phyokyawkhaing2251]

Oh they're quite popular alright. They are very well known in communities related to fantasy literature, literature in general and other niche communities. Some of their songs such as Soldier, King, and Poet and Dear Wormwood are really well known, even in the main stream. Regardless, yea, they don't really get that much main stream attention.
