'Til All Gods Fall

from Immaterial Shores by the garages

Huh! Strike One!
Huh! Strike Two!
Huh! Strike Three!
Out! Batter Up!

Take to the field
Fire and brimstone
We will not yield
We’re not alone
Waves drag us down
We’ll still come home
They can’t keep us in the ground

We throw our pitches, we hit those balls
The game’s not over ‘til all gods fall
And death sends us to its flaming halls
When we’re gone, the team keeps sailing on

Numb to the pain
Fear becomes us
As our blood drains
Who can we trust?
No umps, no gods
We’re treasonous
No one’s safe outside our squad

We throw our pitches, we hit those balls
The game’s not over ‘til all gods fall
And death sends us to its flaming halls
When we’re gone, the team keeps sailing on

Gamble our lives
Cover bases
More souls arrive,
Take our places
New seasons come
Repeat paces
We still beat the same old drum

We throw our pitches, we hit those balls
The game’s not over ‘til all gods fall
And death sends us to its flaming halls
When we’re gone, the team keeps sailing on

Swinging our bats
(Huh! Strike One!)
The smell of ash and pitch
(Huh! Strike Two!)
Wondering if
(Huh! Strike Three!)
You’d be better of dead, facedown in a ditch
(Out! Batter Up!)
But do they even care
(Huh! Strike One!)
If we’re dead or alive
(Huh! Strike Two!)
We know in our hearts
(Huh! Strike Three!)
That no one, not even the gods will survive!
(Huh! Batter Up!)

We throw our pitches, we hit those balls
(Huh! Strike One!)
The game’s not over ‘til all gods fall
(Huh! Strike Two!)
And death sends us to its flaming halls
(Huh! Strike Three!)
When we’re gone, the team keeps sailing on

We throw our pitches, we hit those balls
The game’s not over ‘til all gods fall
And death sends us to its flaming halls
When we’re gone, the team keeps sailing on
