there’s a wall around the city, they were keeping score too soon
if the war goes on much longer, it will all be left in ruin
so we set out to the valley, with our ships so black and full
they were brothers marching toward us, we could catch them down the hole
there’s a place I like to go
under summer blossoms no one knows
get away from all that blood
in the sand it turns to mud
in the sand they sweat and stand, the stone holding fast
killing dandelions with their spears, how much longer can this last
they stole the beauty from our shores, they came knocking on our city gates
blood was steaming so we went, no one tried to mitigate
