There is only one thing you should know
We are better than the best of them
We are better than the rest of them
Our garden continues to grow
While their beast slouches slowly to bethlehem
Their centre can not hold
But ours continually unfolds
In to a new blossoming thing
They can not behold, have no bell to ring
Destruction of the good, the only song they sing
For whom the bell tolls
Is not a thing they think
They do not question why
They only seek to sink
Everything they can - they really have no plan
So deeper down they go
Into darkness most don't know
Looking for the light
But too afraid to fight
Like a rat who knows how much tail it can show
So only know one thing
We are legion, led by Kings
Mighty for the fight, Born out from the night
They can not keep us down
They can not make us drown
For we know what is right
Forged in fire, set in sight
Knowing what's to come
We wait till dawn is done
And in that moment, the hawk released to flight
Another battle done
More soon will surely come
But that is quite alright
We were born only to fight
As others take our place, our kin will win this race
As many went before
As thy will, will be done
We do not question why
Only lead with our reply
We do more than merely try
So come the place, the hour
The bell that rings the tower
The bow that shoots the dove
As below, well, so above
This is the prayer that we shall sing, knowing mercy, led by Kings
And when it's time to go
The wind will lift the Crow
Up in to deeper space
With a little fury, but also with some grace
And thy will, it will be done, and all words will become none
It doesn't matter
No it don't
This story has been told
And now that it is done
It's time to think of what's to come
The battle is fore not aft
The future is not the past
And no one is so dumb
As to think this song is sung
So take another drink, and if you can, don't sink
There is no rhyme in this song
The meter is all wrong
And I really do not know
Why I have gone on so long
But I guess the joke's on you if you made it this far through!
It doesn't matter
No it don't
And really that's all you need to know
When all is said and done
Rack 'em up and pour another one
Rack 'em up and pour another one...
