One for me, Two for thee , Think it, ink it, do it Finishing a chapter Farewell the heroes Mastermind the direction As we sail the continental drift Time is but a small fee Sign the rights to our tale Leave space to fill in the blanks Improvise a setting A place to put down roots Tying our fates together

Shadows in the night Strangers of the day Nameless faces, familiar in their way Play your broken record Feel the token novelty Locals thoughtfully display Wear a mask of wonder, Animate dusty memories Be one of a common bread Head the tools of a tourists trade Click and tick Feeding experience Oh nameless face With your lost identity Buy the soles of the many To fulfil the need in you

Look up To where giants storm Where dances form Mournful, joyful See natures force toy with fate Wispy promises, Ominous armies Sights of mortality Untamed mighty forces Judge us from above

Twisted dreams Sinful sinners Damaged goods Key master of sanity Hidden scars faded by time Skeletons locked away Key rusted by salt Shadowed memories Blurred as a new dawn Confessions made Promises given A secret shared

Trembling Tall poppies Cut down in their prime Berried with haste Fertilising foreign soils In time New growth blankets old bones Memories remain fresh Branded into a young nation Worn out of respect A nod to those Lost blooms of youth

We are the doomed youth Shadows guarding bones Enemy, friend All held in deaths final embrace Years pass, people come and go Seeking to remember Wanting to forget Pointless youth No victors lie here Beneath this foreign sun Only brothers, fathers, husbands Seek to remember Try to forget
