Southern Culture on the Skids - Into The Valley

into the valley
betrothed and divine
realisations no virtue
but who can define
why soldiers go marching
those amsses a line
this disease is catching
from victory to stone

ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky
ahoy!ahoy! boy, man and soldier
ahoy! ahoy! deceived and then punctured
ahoy! ahoy! long may they die

out of concealment
blank and stark eyed
why so uncertain
this culture deceives
prophesised, brainwashed
tomorrows demise
all systems failing
the placards unroll

ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky
ahoy! ahoy! boy, man and soldier
ahoy! ahoy! deceived and then punctured
ahoy! ahoy! long may they die

time for the audit
the gathering trial
a collectors dilemma
repositioned and filed
