Closed eye turns on

Too late to turn around

This graph we laughed

Each point higher

The diagram of what we've got

The history of (?)

A healthy future perfect past

We're catching up we're gaining fast

Legend of war wound

It's boat drinks it slows you down

Red lines sharp nails

There's no pain but clear trails

Gather we're prepared for burning

Leaving fast we're soon returning

(Bonus cross?) with endless crosses

Those alive will count the losses

This is the face that we show the world

Pulls up tendons

Half skin but bones bend

Readied all over

Here comes the moment

Fighting debts and obligations

Hands on deck all crew to stations

Paradigm and observations

History is in the making

This is the face that we show the world

Beneath the (?) language

It's what you decide to sing

(?) you spent some time with it

(It's growing now?) upon escape

(?) the truth will out

This is no time for fear and doubt

A healthy future perfect past

We're catching up we're gaining fast
