Receive, React, Retreat


We are Lot,

We are Hercules,

We are Joan of Arc and St. Sebastian,

Anything is real only if it's lasting,

This is about everything,

This isn't about any one,

This is about no one,

This isn't about anyone,

Sleep is for the weak,

Eyes are for the taking,

Sleep is for the dead,

Dirt is for the making,

Instant implementation, sudden gratification,

Repeat, repeat, repeat,

Instant implementation, sudden gratification,

Repeat, repeat, repeat,

Receive, React, Retreat
