Welcome To Stop - 31Knots

New recruits parley

To the «ient of the day.

Their resolve is strong in wanting to matter.

They say, «ergot, ergot.

We have no home,

Except the one that makes us stop and say,

'This is where the weathered wear lines like armour.

And every clock is like another widowed mother

Born to suffer'.

Evil failure playing martyr.

And now we wait for the orders.»

I can’t lie I got potshots lined up.

Red

We can’t save you

From knowing the

Curse Of The Longest Day.

The cause and cure all

Come from having

The sense to know it was high time to escape

So, welcome to stop.

Where progress halts.

I am…

Hostage…

To the…

Ebb and…

We are…

Flow, flow, flow…
