12/1/07 Mountaineers vs Panthers (The Curse of #2 part 7)
All the Mountaineers had to do, who had now risen to the coveted penultimate position, were to put down their lesser rival in the 100th Backyard Brawl. The curse had other plans though, striking perhaps for it's final time in the year of chaos.
lyrics
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
