LYRICS:

Fighters, factitioners, practitioners come one come all
We're meeting tonight on the steps of the old city hall
Many came before and tried to write on the wall
At ten past the hour tonight their faces will fall

When asked for your help you gave me a dime for the well
For that I shall pray and hope that you never fall ill
If you were stricken and left there with no one to tell
What could you say to make up for all thatʼs been spilled

I, I have arrived to take my life back from you blind eyes
I've come here tonight to honor the lives of all those who capsized
I break up your lies that you put forth as truth my whole life
I offer my right and reach out despite your promises hollow.

Dear friends and gentle hearts stop at the door
You needn't apply if questions are what you came for
The will of a few is stronger than the might of the pen
At ten past the hour tonight we will dig in

I, I have arrived in the cover of night to take on the blind eyes
I promise to fight and honor the lives of all those that capsized

I come here tonight to live my life out from the sidelines
Still I offer my right and reach out despite
Directions to follow
