song title: bury the truth
written by lucy gray baird
about the one and only coriolanus snow
and it is a warning call to the districts when he is president
verse 1:
dear, you know this is my final bow
so i've got to warn you here and now
the man's hair will glow in the wind
but he's got a sack full of heinous sins
chorus:
he runs with the ones who keep the peace
and lie the innocent ones down to sleep
he'll try to soften the wicked blow
he'll bury the truth under the pure white snow
verse 2:
what once made my heart beat out of my chest
will boast to the children that he's the best
so hide your loved ones from this man
oh darling, try to save them if you can
chorus:
he runs with the ones who keep the peace
and lie the innocent ones down to sleep
he'll try to soften the wicked blow
he'll bury the truth under the pure white snow
verse 3:
there once used to be love in this land
but now the life is empty where i stand
you'll hear this song from someone
so if you want to live, you better run
verse 4:
find the truth outside of the walls
that you all believe stand so tall
where the old ash still remains, so do i
it is where i will stay 'til the day i die
outro:
now that you know where i reside
come and find me where mockingjays fly
