lyrics

Battlezones, all surprises, fighting the unknown
Men in masks, a sense of panic fuels another chamber load

Catapult, flying sideways, miles away from home
Broken asphalt, busted carriages all scattered across the road

Animals, oh the highwaymen are in control
Pay their tax or witness families in SUVs explode

This is your plight
Cue fight or flight
Ramshackle pirate with five diamond eyes
Bandits in tow
Battle for gold in the hope that the gods will allow you to go
Alive am I
Many a man thought themselves strong & wise
Bullets or knives
Such generosity offers you options on how you will die

This battle’s begun
So happy you’ve come
Stand and deliver at once

Battlezones, all this priceless piracy nouveau
Forty thieves, war, and pieces of cargo

Now reconcile with your demons, your masters
To grant you guidance throughout this disaster
A concierge to the Foreverafter
Open your safe or we’ll close out your chapter

Battlezones, all these tyrants finalize your vote
The poor attacks; we’ll plant their corpses in our grove

You should not have come
But, but, but, battle on!
Stand and deliver at once

Don’t come round through our neighborhood
Lest you’re wanting to stay for good

Capture our fleet, we’ll be back on the streets with 2 or 3 misdemeanors
We go to church at the house of worship the mayor and D.A. prefer

So suck on that succotash

Flock up out of our neighborhood
Lest you’re wanting to stay for good
And if so— well hey!
Welcome, neighbor!

This battle is done
Now victorious, stand and deliver at once
