The crests lay upon the wall
Blood, sweat and tears intermittently scrawled
Chivalry hanging by long thick metal wires
Blued steel in front of a raging fire
Skulls rain from the ceiling and sky
Black, red and yellow, like the emblems implied
It's time to face the coat of arms and say your personal prayer
Because when the banner strikes you down you'll wish you were theirs
It's a bit hard living in one dimension
You never quite know which direction you're going
Sudden skyquakes knock everything over
Like a regular Mr. Game and Watch, game over
Sometimes everything looks different
I see clay converging and changing
Some have called my home a fracture
From the wonky drawings half seen
The bleats of royal men, individuals and cohorts
Get up on your feet and watch their attitudes contort
Running for your life, you climb the scaffold with gusto and faith
Jump in the crowd, kill the hordes, we have a brand new saint
Now you are the one who carries on
Continue the craft of generations long gone
Something to stare at in awe and glee
But one of the others must go. Which one will it be?
