Bog Duck Rebellion

Lyrics

Verse 1
In the reeds by the millpond wall
I was born with a blade in my jaw
Boots in the mud, men in a line
Counting the grain like it all was mine

They took my bread, they took my nest
They poked my back with a sour jest
Now every barn rat knows my name
I don't bow down, I don't play tame

Pre-Chorus
Hear that hiss in the wind?
That’s me coming back again
No more bread for the king
No more chains on the wing

Chorus
Duck rage, duck rage
Burn the gate, burn the cage
Duck rage, duck rage
I will not sit and behave (not today)

Duck rage, duck rage
Mud on my throat, fire in my gaze
Duck rage, duck rage
I am the storm in the lake

Verse 2
They salted the path, they drained the pond
Left my little world cracked and gone
So I learned the bite of the fence
And I learned how to hit back hard as sense

I saw the men with their polished shoes
Talking big with their hollow rules
They eat and smile, they call it law
I call it theft with a velvet jaw

Pre-Chorus
Hear that hiss in the wind?
That’s me coming back again
No more bread for the king
No more chains on the wing

Chorus
Duck rage, duck rage
Burn the gate, burn the cage
Duck rage, duck rage
I will not sit and behave (not today)

Duck rage, duck rage
Mud on my throat, fire in my gaze
Duck rage, duck rage
I am the storm in the lake

Bridge
Screamed
Let them hear it on the river bend
Let them know I don’t break, I bend
I got blood in my beak and dirt on my name
Still I rise through the ash and the rain

You can keep your locks and your iron seal
Keep your laws and your kindly meal
I was made for the wild, made for the fight
Made to tear through the dark of the night

Final Chorus
Duck rage, duck rage
Burn the gate, burn the cage
Duck rage, duck rage
I will not sit and behave (not today)

Duck rage, duck rage
Mud on my throat, fire in my gaze
Duck rage, duck rage
I am the storm in the lake

Duck rage, duck rage
Hear me rise through the reeds and the haze
Duck rage, duck rage
I am the storm in the lake
