Wolverines:
Welcome thousands, the house is set
let us start anew, forgive our debt
what lies before us, formality
an afterthought of relevance
to right the ship, to claim our prize
with heart and soul, we take control
a dynasty throughout all time
etched far beyond the gates of yore
on this day, we all begin
on this day, we sound the tone
on this day, we hail victory
on this day the lesser forgotten will...
Mountaineers:
FCS, division 1-AA
champions of the weak lesser one
mountaineers receive their pay
head held high, they stand and fight
on this day, we shake the world
on this day, we sound the tone
on this day, we hail victory
on this day the lesser forgotten one will rise
on this day, we shake the world
on this day, we sound the tone
on this day, we hail victory
on this day the lesser forgotten one
on this day the lesser forgotten one
on this day the lesser forgotten one will rise

when you can't find all the answers
sometimes hope lies in the sky
we will never say surrender
we will never never die
everything on the line
we're running out of time
kneel down, beg and plead
a sullen act of desperation
one more shot at redemption
it is time to finally ask the question
when you can't find all the answers
sometimes hope lies in the sky
we will never say surrender
we will never never die
we deserve what's coming of us
for the end of our own undoing
for the victor the gods smile brightly
the largest arcs, the greatest stories
the power, the chaos
a dream like fever state
an endless fall from grace, the power overwhelming
when you can't find all the answers
sometimes hope lies in the sky
we will never say surrender
we will never never die
when you can't find all the answers (we never say surrender)
sometimes hope lies in the sky (we never say die)
we will never say surrender (still looking for the answers)
we will never never die (way upon high)

Flames of Troy

Cardinal:
alright now!
march strong against our host
years beyond our final form
slipping through a mighty storm
alright now!
a virus we create
destiny, eternity
relevance matters not to me
fire and Ice
behold the might
fire and Ice
behold the sacred sight
luminary echoes of a trigger set in motion
a separate time, a separate place, being ripped apart
betraying one to reclaim the other
defying one to exceed another
set the record straight and douse the flame away
Trojan:
rolling, rumbling
constructed chaos
deceiving, misleading
precursor of the fall
we create our destiny
marching for eternity
timeless ancient warriors
storming past our blessing in disguise
fire and Ice
behold the might
fire and Ice
behold, behold the sacred sight
the flames of troy
doused out past their prime
the lesser forgotten
a new crimson tide
all in all the curse will carry on
the flames of troy
need only a spark
a flicker so bright
shall ensure our precious life
may it shine at last forevermore, yeah
luminary echoes of a trigger set in motion
a separate time, a separate place, being ripped apart
betraying one to reclaim the other
defying one to exceed another
set the record straight and douse the flame away

Tedford's Demise

I could use some help right now
in this hour of need
but afraid of the truth
of my undoing deed
I hold the candle
I blew it out
but one remains
inside and out
leave me alone
to my own silence
give me advice
so I don't feel alone
one fatal mistake
brings down this hopeless regime
now the balance hangs in doubt (what have I done to deserve this)
I left the comforts of the north on my own
and now, this mistake will bring me down
time heals this inelegant wound
unable to ease, the pressure it weaves
balance out of sync
balance hangs in doubt (what have I done to deserve this)
I left my conscience long ago on my own
and now, this curse will bring me down
-The Curse
so close to the end
so close to the top
so close yet far away
the curse, the curse of number two

Redeemer Azure

the day has finally arrived
it was never about revenge
to be redeemer, of our lost hopes and dreams
by the length of our fingertips we held back time
if only for an instance, like waves of a distant shoreline
oh redemption in sight
familiar faces flood my consciousness
never knowing, only seeing
a fleeting second, belief made real
when fantasy ceases
and reality dreams
a story is told
believe what was
a story will be told
remember tomorrow
casting shadows
overcome, overcome
when time stretched out its hand
fate brought us back again
the field that lay the land
will be the home of hope
when time stretched out its hand
fate brought us back again
the field that lay the land
will be the home of hope
of redemption long past due
that hearts will yearn for
just one more step ahead
while out of breath again
gotta keep on running, running
keep on running
the hearts and minds that conjure a thought
burn inside
with hope that this day
may ease our pain
may slow decay
we will prosper on
"Today is the day redemption takes hold
easing the memory of the day that burned
it was not foretold
it was not predicted
so it shall be written
by the warriors of old"
the year will pass
as the others have
prestige will take over
your story will fade
like a fallen dream
resistance is futile
you become a forgotten footnote
etched in sand, a meaningless record
pointless, unnecessary
a cause with no substance
the righteousness of the two sides
never doubting that they are wrong
that the enemy is just beyond the ridge
that they are different even though we are the same
these differences will be the end of us
and we will throw away the memories
the good and the bad
the pageantry and the parody
our faces, we're with you
these moments, stay with you
When reality ceases
and fantasy dreams
a story is told
believe what was
the story will be...told
When fantasy ceases
and reality dreams
a story is told
if you just believe
let the story be told

Relevance
04:26
|

our relevance
the stars align for the first time
our relevance
obscurity escapes our hold
our relevance
no longer David anymore
our relevance
we flip the myth and dwell amongst the gods
finally the moment comes
under pressure
there can only be one
soak in the grandeur
we've earned what's come of us
two souls from the same cloth
fighting away their relevance
on this night everyone will know our name
forever etched into sand
the scarlet and green
will be seen
on the grandest stage of them all
our relevance
we're now a danger to you all
our relevance
you will fear what we've become
our relevance
as Goliath is no more
our relevance
discard the stories of the old
rewrite the tale anew
the time is finally now
we bask under the moonlight
the lights come crashing down
on our feeble minds
will we handle all the stimuli
the attention
that we all strive
half rewritten, stories anew
we skim the pages of our own relevance
on this night everyone will know our names
forever etched into sand
the scarlet and green
will be seen
on the grandest stage of them all
you've blinded by the grandeur
the delusions growing faster
may your relevance
fade away
back into obscurity

antiquity
caught somewhere far below
a distant record, unbroken tradition
midshipmen pay the price
we will sink down to the depths
never knowing that it's the last
no chance to catch a breath
no time to say farewell
in a flash of an instant
frustration, futility
lopsided loss shadows narrow defeat
in a flash of a lifetime
our hopes have been restored
to end a new beginning
eternally patrol
SSN-593
what once was is no more
toppled down by the gods
by this cursed year
they were lost at sea we know
the thresher's strike has come from a
long, long time ago
on a starless night
full speed ahead
the lost harbor awaits
washed ashore
on eternal patrol
we will never return
by the grace of the cursed
we will surface once more
"scattered fragments
and twisted metal
are all that remain
of the USS Thresher"

Pathetic Travesty
03:58
|
|||
one more time
we must prevail
out of shame
the final curtain calls
we must be focused
our final fight
we show the faithful
that there is no shame in sight
no more time
of what entails
without fame
the final curtain falls
right here right now
we defend our home
this is the last time
upon these hallowed grounds
we will find out who we were
this is the last time
that we all honor
we discover who we are
right now, we have a final chance
right now, to end own our terms
hold on, to moments that brought us to now
right here, right now
energy fading
emotion gone
travesty forming
our dreams now turn to dust
thanks for all the memories
disgrace before my eyes
you've let the faithful down
no matter, for no one's left to see this travesty
right now, we have a final chance
right now, to end own our terms
hold on, to moments that brought us to now
right here, right now
don't let this helpless case go sour your day
you know tomorrow brings a whole 'nother way
don't let this travesty go ruin your day
go ruin your day, go ruin your day
Pathetic Travesty

Where It Never Rains
05:48
|

we've reached the top
looking down at the masses
accession rising, no denying
with this power
we finally bring one home
some say we rose to quickly
while others join our side
we flash in front with style
leaving the rest behind
with all the trials we've proven
we cast aside our pain
complete of absolution
troubles fade and wash away
we will all shine strong
we will fly not fall
we have crossed the other side
where legends never die
we grace upon the ledge
just jump with all the rest
if you just close your eyes
you'll see that you can fly
amongst the wind and sky
the sun and moon will whisper
your ungodly name
marching on and on and on
we tread swift, we take off
moving on to our last mark
just one more step for destiny awaits
run away champion
homeward bound we will prevail
"you didn't think you'd actually win, did you?"
with every single step
we grace upon the ledge
now jump with all the rest
if you just close your eyes
you'll see that you can fly
amongst the wind and sky
the sun and moon will whisper
your almighty name, where it never rains
the curse has torn my life again
take me away
to the place
where it never rains

Swing Your Sword
03:32
|

the epitome of parenthesis
the leader of the ship
never bending, never breaking
attack with optimism
the price for knowledge
paid with time
no treasure big enough
to curb the tide
swing your sword, raise the flag
the fight is fought under pirate command
scream and laugh, foil the plan
they all turn a fool under Leach's hand
pioneers in ruining tradition
altering the way of the world
an endless variation
lie dormant 'cross the sea
a complex string
split to the end
a simple way
to change the trend
unconventional
trained for law
climbed the ranks
lead the charge
steal some glory
air raid
air raid
air raid
be the hammer
not the nail
air raid
sky ward
air raid
pirates
air raid
last week
be the hammer
not the nail
swing your sword, raise the flag
the fight is fought under pirate command
scream and laugh, foil the plan
they all turn a fool under Leach's hand

This storied rivalry
will it ever come to pass

nothing more is left to do

nothing more is left to do
but bring you down
brevity has fallen
our chances are fading fast, ohh
clawing out of a time once past
we try to find another way
Jayhawk legend
stories lost
Tiger brawn and blood
as they must pay in every way
never wanted to live this life
driven out from family ties
blind faith personified
The Border War
Massacre laid waste
Burnt districts devastate
all of god's creation
now they will pay in every way
never wanted to live this life
driven out from family ties
blind faith personified
The Border War
no selfless claims have been offered
no selfless claims for tomorrow
while our hopes are fading fast, ohh
we're running out of time
a seed of impending destruction
of violence waiting to be loosened
a faultline of justice and truth
a faultline of lies and corruption
must we really
continue the conflict
to uproot the blood and the tears
this worthy successor to war
This storied rivalry
will it ever come to pass
a timeless tale going round and round
look back at what remains
two sides that disagree
nothing more is left to do
but bring you down
Jayhawk legend

Tiger brawn and blood

never wanted to live this life
driven out from family ties

Massacre laid waste
Burnt districts devastate
all of god's creation
now they will pay in every way
never wanted to live this life
blood brothers did divide

Formality
06:20
|

close to the end
close to the top
close, far away
the curse
it's just a little formality
our rival, we gently put them down
it's just a little formality
our rival, we'll crush you till the end
this year is cursed but we immune
standing tall amongst the few
we've waited patient for the fall
just one more week that we must wait
circumstance, reveals our fate
the masses flustered with the chaos
unbeknownst inquiry
the pressure mounts, we wait and see
let us pass to judgement, forgo formality
so close to the end
so close to the top
so close yet far away
the curse
i did not see the tower fall
i did not hear the fatal shot
reality fiction to tall to tell
destiny has it's way
clearing the barren path for the lesser
pulling complex strings
to unravel the dying dreams of the greater
it's just a little formality
our rival, we gently put them down
it's just a little formality
our rival, we'll crush you till the end
telling tales through bits of sand
reality fiction to tall to tell
so close, to the end
to the top, yet far away
so close, to the end
to the top, yet far away
countdown the seconds
until the glass will shatter
broken pieces of a strange reflection
we become the dynasty
that eternity once remembered
we climb the everlasting ranks
we take our place
amongst the elite
for all that have fallen
finally...
it was just a little formality
our rival
put us
down

Let The Story Be Told

time disrupted
for that i know
the aftermath of the fall
are certain to us all
these tales i have grown
reach high into the sky
in my heart i know it's real
but i know i cannot prove
just take a look upon the brittle pages
of a once historic sacred tradition
just keep turning, keep turning
and thus, the pages will wear and tear away
Let the story be told
for time has taken it's toll
let the story be told
for they never made a difference
the opposition, i must decree
preserve what's left behind
the pieces are all we have
a bleak sign of the times
till my last breath
i make my final stand
i'll stay behind
Stadium Eternus
just one more look upon them warn out pages
it's far to gone now to make a difference
what really happened on those ancient days
the story will suffice, this story must
Let the story be told
for time has taken it's toll
let the story be told
for they never made, they never made a difference
what if everything i know
the stories i have told
are moments of a single fragment of the truth
buried beneath the shards of broken glass
lie the answer forgotten
the ruin of a lesser past
"evacuate the premise immediately
i repeat, evacuate immediately!"
"the roar of the crowd
echoes in eternity
the memories I've shared
etched in these walls
the moments that we had
the emotions that we spilled
I've kept them all alive
I've kept you all alive
in this place that I've called home"
i won't leave
i'll never leave
this place that I've called home
i won't leave
i'll never leave
this place that I've called home
Just take a look (just take a look)
just one more look (just one more look)
i won't leave
i'll never leave
this place that I've called home
i won't leave
i'll never leave
this curse that I've called home
i won't leave
i'll never leave
this place that I've called home
i won't leave
we'll never leave
this place that we've called home
let the story be told
for time has taken it's toll
let the story be told
for they never made, they never made a difference
we never made a difference
on this day we took control
on this day we soared the skies
on this day we brought our own demise
on this day the lesser forgotten will...
