Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They printed my picture on cardboard Held it high in the pouring rain Chanted my name like a chorus Swore they'd never be the same Cameras caught every teardrop Every fist Every broken shout But the ink on those homemade banners Started fading as the sun came out [Chorus] Revolution loves you ’Til the fire burns down Then the world walks past your name Lying quiet on the ground You can give your last breath To a desperate Dying crowd But you're forgotten When the fire goes out [Verse 2] Mama kept the coat that I bled in Folded neat in the bottom drawer They said I'd live on in their stories But they don't come ’round here no more New faces stand in the crosshairs New slogans in fresh red paint They borrowed my blood for a moment Then they moved on Just like saints [Chorus] Revolution loves you ’Til the fire burns down Then the world walks past your name Lying quiet on the ground You can give your last breath To a desperate Dying crowd But you're forgotten When the fire goes out [Bridge] Do you hear that quiet? That’s the sound of the cause moved on All those raised hands Now they're scrolling on their phones Tell me Is there a heaven For the ones they left behind? Or just a gravestone leaning sideways In an unremembered line [Chorus] Revolution loves you ’Til the fire burns down Then the world walks past your name Lying quiet on the ground You can give your last breath To a desperate Dying crowd But you're forgotten (yeah, you're forgotten) When the fire goes out

Slow-burning blues-soul ballad with male vocals, roomy drums, and a mournful Hammond organ under smoky electric guitar. Verses stay intimate and low, bass walking gently; chorus lifts with gospel-style backing vocals and sustained guitar bends. Final chorus adds tambourine and a raw, cracked vocal ad-lib, then the band fades on a lingering organ chord., blues, world, soul
