and in a grimm grotto
the writing on the wall
"you only live to tell a tale
where at the end you never fall"

these words, they live to comfort you
in nights this dark and long
you are fallible, your resolve is weak
you have to think that you are strong

this is the plight of the minute men
of moments present, moments past
we play this game from day to day
in hopes that we will last
