LyricMeaning

Ballots/Stones
Hostage Calm

You come out in droves
Protectors of an ancient code
You'd like to know what would become of you and yours
If left alone
So, with that pride destined to find itself on the wrong side of history
You take arms

Did you cast a ballot or a stone?
Did it cast a shadow on their home?

Let's go
On to a place I know where men can share a home
By now the world should know
That your factions and their romance with interference
They have no business in these homes

Did you cast a ballot or a stone?
Did it cast a shadow on their home?

Your slogans echo loudly from Edmund Pettus Bridge
Would you tear up like you did when the Lovings wed?
I'd give so much to see your assaults laid to rest
Would they be mourned like the rightless ones you've vilified?
Because at their funerals
When the priest gives the flag to her partner, she still cries
Four years before the state gave them the right

Did you cast a ballot or a stone?
