Addition through subtraction Is the banner of the warring faction Collections of heroic action Gilded slices Framed in fractions Imbibing the well Gaining traction Just enough to coax distraction One step forward and another step Backwards… Was it ever really ours to begin with? No… Is this a bad feeling you can sit with? Hey! Is everything better when it’s infinite? Well… Filling in the blanks of your war path Go… Disguising your ambitions as a rough draft Stay! They max out capacity For competent destruction When experience and cunning And confident instruction Lays down its fears Wastes all its weapons Succeeds in defeating The tenets of justice Consulting in tandem With forces abroad Gaining gilded grace from God One step forward and another step Backwards… Was it ever really ours to begin with? No… Is this a bad feeling you can sit with? Hey! Is everything better when it’s infinite? Well… Filling in the blanks of your war path Go… Disguising your ambitions as a rough draft Stay! Approach the core The idle center All can stay None may enter Exchange your fate For private venture Gold arrays for carnal pleasure Pair off in groups To find the treasure Waxing, waning Mental pressure Trauma can be hard to measure One step forward and another step Backwards… Was it ever really ours to begin with? No… Is this a bad feeling you can sit with? Hey! Is everything better when it’s infinite? Well… Filling in the blanks of your war path Go… Disguising your ambitions as a rough draft Stay! Afterwards they find themselves in quite the conundrum Fifty-odd pounds of force swinging like a pendulum No more battered heroes coming ‘round to defend them Act against inaction The final addendum One step forward and another step Backwards… Was it ever really ours to begin with? No… Is this a bad feeling you can sit with? Hey! Is everything better when it’s infinite? Well… Filling in the blanks of your war path Go… Disguising your ambitions as a rough draft Stay! Stay! Stay!
