It's not necessary To walk through a cemetery We'll still get graveyard dirt on our boots. There are billions of bodies Innocence buried everywhere. Just take a step. They are the foundation of things This hopeless empire built on corpses Wine-drunk time well spent in cheap shirts with ring around the collar. Sweating. Sobbing. Furthering the stains and their hidden agenda. I have a nice watch though. It was a gift. From the cosmos. It’s this inside joke we share and we're laughing at you because you don’t get it.

Opening Stanza completely retuned by our brother Torin Galleshaw. Many thanks to him AND his fancy hat.
