under the stairs
caught in revolving doors
sitting on stones
in abandoned cemeteries
under the sea
where the fishes swim through me
humming a song
w/ the last breath inside our lungs

bullet holes & broken bones
we’re giving up
through fog & musket smoke
we’re not giving up
interred & disintegrated
we’re giving up
destroy the enemy
we’re not giving up
Blood – Coats – March
in & out of time
British blood it runs the world
it’s inside us
Blood – Coats – March
blood flows from bullet holes
ghost army made of gun smoke
dissolved in soil far from home
we still pursue the enemy
Blood – Coats – March
in & out of time
Blood alone it runs the world
it runs from us
Blood – Coats – March
to War !

the road leads
uphill & nowhere
through the Colonies
red grass & white sky
up Post Road
a dead messenger weaves
through automobiles
in & out of traffic patterns
We Are Together
Forever
abbreviated ranks
moving toward the sounds of battle
burning everything
in our path in this New England
up Post Road
a concrete highway
blood in snow we leave
but we don’t leave foot prints
We Are Together
Forever

I cannot cross the boundary / of this wrought iron fence
Others come & then return / to Providence
Our ships come into harbor / all have been lost
Our Royalist bodies under / skyscrapers
Trapped
Trapped
Trapped
In Boston

unbroken ranks of brothers
Minutemen line in lantern light
take it in the head in the leg in the neck
I was here / I am erased
Into the fire. Into the fire.
Draw your sword & fall on it
We’re walking
Walking into the fire

the White Hart x3
will lead us home
in New Hampshire
we caught the light, caught the light
we trailed him
through the night, through the night
the White Hart
will lead us home x3
underneath the sea
angler fish / gulper eels
on the sea bed
rotted masts / ship bones
the White Hart x3
will lead us to
our King
