Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Into the valley
Betrothed and divine
That this is no virtue
But who can define
[Verse 2]
Why soldiers go marching
Those masses align
This disease is catching
From victory to stone
[Verse 3]
(Ahoy, ahoy) Land, sea, and sky
(Ahoy, ahoy) Boy, man, and soldier
(Ahoy, ahoy) Deceived and then punctured
(Ahoy, ahoy) Long may they die
[Verse 4]
Out of concealment
Blank and stark-eyed
Whey so uncertain
Our culture deceives
[Verse 5]
Prophesied, brainwashed
Tomorrow's demise
All systems failing
The placards unroll
[Verse 6]
(Ahoy, ahoy) Land, sea, and sky
(Ahoy, ahoy) Boy, man, and soldier
(Ahoy, ahoy) Deceived and then punctured
(Ahoy, ahoy) Long may they die
[Verse 7]
Time for the audit
Gathering trial
La-la-la la la, la la-la-la-la
La-la-la la la, la la-la-la-la
Planters unravel
Position and fire
[Verse 8]
(Ahoy, ahoy) Land, sea, and sky
(Ahoy, ahoy) Boy, man, and soldier
(Ahoy, ahoy) Deceived and then punctured
(Ahoy, ahoy) Long may they die
[Verse 9]
Into the valley
Betrothed and divine
But since there's no virtue
But who can define
[Verse 10]
Why soldiers go marching
Those masses align
This disease is catching
From victory to stone
La-la-la la la, la la-la-la-la
La-la-la la la, la la-la-la-la
[Verse 11]
Into the valley
Betrothed and divine
La-la-la la la, la la-la-la-la
La-la-la la la, la la-la-la-la
[Verse 12]
Into the valley
Betrothed and divine
