War, Wisdom and Rhyme Lyrics
only an angel can feed
on ashes and ovaries
blame the pagans and saints
they are one
war, wisdom and rhyme
the peach and the rattlesnake
we are grave
we are graves
we will die
maybe the sawgrass did feel
burnt confederate steel
spoil't milk on the grave
we were wrong
war, wisdom and rhyme
the catfish and bayonet
we are grave
we are graves
we will die
grave fire
war, wisdom and rhyme
we will...
on ashes and ovaries
blame the pagans and saints
the peach and the rattlesnake
we are graves
we will die
burnt confederate steel
spoil't milk on the grave
the catfish and bayonet
we are graves
we will die
war, wisdom and rhyme

This song has a lot to do with the american civil war.
"Only an angel can feed on ashes and ovaries" Refers to the burning of homes and crops. "The peach and the rattlesnake" Georgia, along with the 'Don't tread on me' rattlesnake.
"Maybe the sawgrass did feel - burnt confederate steel" More fire. Probably the burning of the confederate navy in Florida, among other things.
Perhaps someone who's a civil war buff can make some more connections, or correct me.
Maybe the saw grass noticed the Confederate defeat, or noticed the graves over which the grass grew. It's also kind of hinting at the fallen soldiers becoming forgotten over the years.

Apart from "feel" and "steel," this song has no Rhyme!
@NikoMackey Maybe the rhyme scheme is too far apart for you to witness... hits blunt
