lyrics

stakes piled high across the land
we play a royal hand
from castles made of sand

bodies hanging by a fine line
feeding serpentine relations
with dissenting smiles
draw the line

this placid illusion fading
the colors all rearranging
in the gray, i stand alone

the memories that haunt me
cannot be responsible
for the wretch before you now

cross the line, and you’ll find that we don't belong on either side

an affront to these shallow trenches
so hastily inked in conquest
all the pieces in play for the gambit
nameless faces erased

as shooting stars fill the skies with violence
on the shoulders of hungry giants
o, how their constellations grow

hold the line
with your bloodstained banner to justify our lust

transcribe the epics of heroism
notarized in the blood of villains
to the victor, the spoils of perdition
battered borders redrawn and partitioned

reparation through starvation
with this carthaginian piece of the banquet

don the shame as this indignation is
stowed away in the depths of abasement

blur the line
between saint and savage to justify our lust
will this hunger deny forever?
