1. WAGING THE PROMISE

Godspeed sailor
On this loneliest of voyages
Know these waters
Are dark and terrible
And that you have no friend in them
With helplessness all that you have left
Enter the monsters of a thousand nightmares
Standards you cannot
Adhere to, lessons
You have never learned
What worth have principles
If you're the only one
Left standing in the end
The war's been lost
But you are itching
For the next fight anyway
Sing you prayers out loud
Because children's lullabies are lies


2. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF

They are finally here
Come have no fear
The rhymes are far worse
Than you might hope
There's no salvation
In a let down
Anticipation is a
Recipe for disaster
Babylonian achievements
Divine failures
Debris remains
Of fallen gods
The storm is approaching
Like every year, never to stay
Always to leave its marks, 'though
Always to leave its marks
It's a trap, a setup
A house of cards
Continue, restart
Rebuild and refurnish
We'll make it big
Someday, I promise
Blood, hopes and lies
2 out of 5
Sweat, hopes and lies
2 out of 5
Tears, hopes and lies
2 out of 5
No one ever really cared
Even you never really cared
In vain we undertook
Differing levels of
Obvious ineptitude
So apparent in our design
There's no place for us
In the greater scheme
Or how did you really think
This would end my love
