we are too small for this home, too quiet
feel it burning in your bones
now feel your skin crawl as the flames leap higher
try to resist their call
their hunger grows and only breaking you can sate them
did you feel the change?
the Hellmouth chose us to live the Hell that we created
there is no escape
the cold you feel will never stop, it's not here
it lives deep inside your throat
you have about two hundred bones in your body
and none of them have a soul
if you wake up tomorrow you will never be the same
familiar face
so how much silence do you think you can take before
like us it turns you deaf
so take my hand, my friend
that way the flames won't hurt as bad
and don't look back
the shadows don't like to be seen
hear the earth call for your flesh, we're not welcome here
it consumes us piece by piece
like us you're cursed till the end of days, should've ran my dear
now the Tug you feel won't cease
the Sun goes down and with it we all bury our light
so that we last the night
forget the one you used to be before you gave in to the dark
they won't come back
the Sun goes down and with it we all bury our light
so that we last the night
forget the one you used to be before you gave in to the dark
they won't come back

Welcome, friend, may I take your jacket?
Grab a chair, I'll bring you coffee
It is warm and safe and comfy here
So come by, friend, forget your worries
Sit with us and share your story
Pour some milk, the cats love company
And take all the time you may need, my friend
Because the night is young
So stay with me until the end
Hey there, friend, did you have a good day?
Find a seat, tell me all about it
Have some tea and warm up your cold hands
So come in, friend, anytime you need to
If you want another soul to speak to
or just sit and watch the sun go down
And take all the time you may need, my friend
Because the night is young
So stay with me until the end
And take all the time you may need, my friend
Because the night is young
So stay with me until the end

Tigers:
You've been there since Day One
Through thick and thin and scorpions
And we've both seen our share
Of nightmare horrors more than once
No matter where you play
Your eldritch god lights up the night
So I wanna thank you
For making the underworld so bright
and if we're living or dead
who can really tell
Sunbeams
You're my best friends in hell
Sunbeams:
You’ve been there since day one
Through dark eclipsing of the sun
And we’ve both felt despair
At fates that we can not out run
No matter what we’ve lost
We know we’ll always have our stripes
So I wanna thaank you
For being the heat to warm our light
And if there’s no tomorrow
Who can really tell
Tigers
You’re my best friends in hell
Both:
When they opened the book
And the labyrinths and desert shook
You were at our side
Through all the changes we undertook
Sunbeams:
You told us don't look back
And so we stood in strange new light
Tigers:
And we will stand with you
Both:
We have your back in every fight
And if the world is ending
We can face it together
Sunbeams / Tigers
You’re our best friends forever
Tigerbeams
We're best friends forever

He wakes up Sunday
In Tennessee and hits the alarm clock
He cleans his cleats, ha makes some pancakes for the girls
His husband drives him to the airport where the plane is waiting
"This is your captain speaking,
welcome to our 11 AM flight MEM to the Underworld."
He steps up to the plate and checks the bases
Zion's on second
The Iron Lion ready to go, all speed and chrome
And right before the pitch is expelled,
He just can't help but think to himself
"It sure would be a shame if no-one brought her home."
And in the TV, they don't even say his name
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
He ain't here for his health, and it sure as hell ain't for fame
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
It's the bottom of the eleventh
With two men on and two men out, we're tied up
The fans are screaming, this is awful, this is great
We're begging, Randy
All we need is you to hit a single
And Randy C just laughs and says, "It's up to fate."
And in the papers, they don't print who scored the shame
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
He ain't here for his health, and it sure as hell ain't for fame
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
The team's all left, he hits the lights on his way out the lockers
The press is snapping pics while Aldon Cashy flaunts it
And when he walks on by, not one reporter stops to talk to him
And Randy smiles 'cause that's just the way he wants it
'Cause his family's cheering and the fans all do the same
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game
Nobody sung about him 'til this song we're playing
Home Run Randy's doing it for the love of the game

look at me, look at me, look at me
there ain’t an “i” in the winning team
but i tell you where there is a “we”
it’s in, “we’re getting rid of fascists, completely”
you’re a part, you’re a part, you’re a part
if you’re a human with a beating heart
you don’t need to have a fist to fight
just need to stand up against the right
we’re on the attack
we’re getting on track
we’re beating them back
bit by bit
we all gotta play
til we’re winning the day
you know what they say:
there is no second chair!
you’re important!
keep the t, keep the t, keep the t
exile the terfs on the count of three
and make every racist run and hide
fifty points for every one that cries
stay alert, stay alert, stay alert
we gotta be there for our friends they hurt
and listen to your allies who are under the heel
but we have power that is tangibly real

5778!
Got a sinking feeling when they passed High Filter
Teams were reeling, we were all off kilter
Then they expected us to fight for scraps
At each other's throats in the bloodiest bloodbath
We wouldn’t do it so we made a pact:
All of Wild Low would have each others back
Swore on the clubhouse and the Sun up above it
We’d show the gods and we’d tell ‘em to shove it
They give and They take, well we’d get what’s ours
Leave it all on the field, play above our stars
Done our share of crying, we’d burned and we’d bled
Finger up to heaven this is what we said:
You can’t make us be mean to each other
We’re gonna train and support one another
Become more powerful than you ever dreamed
Through the love of the game and our fellow teams
No matter what happens together we grow
The best of the worst, Let’s go Wild Low! Let’s go!
Wild Low! Let's go! Wild Low!
Let’s go Wild Low Let’s go!
A little sun and we just might bloom
At the Wild Low Clubhouse there’s always room
Glowing good vibes are always essential
The tacos are unlimited just like our potential!
Better count your blessings 'fore we wimdy 'em all
We came to party and we came to play ball!
Don’t look away, catch us sharing signs
Your Eyes Only on our mutual rise
While you were struggling to keep your composure
We got our shovels and we moved the mounds closer!
Eyes on the prize now, don’t get distracted
Or you may find your winning record [redacted]
You can’t make us be mean to each other
We’re gonna train and support one another
Become more powerful than you ever dreamed
Through the love of the game and our fellow teams
No matter what happens together we grow
The best of the worst, Let’s go Wild Low! Let’s go!
Wild Low! Let's go! Wild Low!
Let’s go Wild Low Let’s go!
We keep it spicy so you won’t catch us slippin’
Move in and slurp you know we always be sippin’
One team’s weed is another team’s flower
Petals to the metal cultivating our power!
We’re always watching from the Gooftop Garden
It’s high itme to get this party started!
You can’t make us be mean to each other
We’re gonna train and support one another
Become more powerful than you ever dreamed
Through the love of the game and our fellow teams
No matter what happens together we grow
The best of the worst, Let’s go Wild Low! Let’s go!
Wild Low! Let's go! Wild Low!
Let’s go Wild Low Let’s go!
I see Dale = I say Dale = You say Dale! We all say DALE!
Done the calculations, read every dossier
Place your bets now ‘cause we’re making the gods pay
Gonna dig deep, gonna give ‘em Hell
These shells don’t crack so let’s crack some shells! LET'S GO!
WILD LOW! LET’S GO! Wild Low!
Let’s go Wild Low Let's Go!
C'mon Wild Low! Bloom!
Dale!
EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT
Yeehaw!
Bang BANG!
Wild Low!

Sky comes tumbling down
I got to get out of this town
Sky comes tumbling down
This only happens when I'm around
I am a walking disaster, keep away from me
You know I really don’t want to make a scene
Somehow it happens despite all of my good intent
I’m giving up even trying to prevent
I know I shouldn't be living in this place at all
Send me to space, it's a small world after all
For your own safety just lock me up and melt the key
'Cause it's already too long since something happened to me
You shouldn't even be listening to this song
'Cause any second now something's gonna go wrong
I feel it happening now
it's really happening
here I go agaiiiiin
Sky comes tumbling down
I got to get out of this town
Sky comes tumbling down
This only happens when I'm around
You say the Bucket protects, you say we're safe but if
my calculation's correct there's a terrif-
-ic chance that some cosmic trap is just about to spring
And if I'm right then we can’t protect a thing
They cheer my name it’s my turn on the mound
But they don't know that I shouldn't be around
I'm an anomaly, I'm a rip in time and space
You're like a family but I don't belong in this place
And I don't know if I'll see my kids again
I keep on smiling but it's so hard to pretend
And now it's happening no
Can't stop it happening
here I go agaiiiiin
Sky comes tumbling down
I got to get out of this town
Sky comes tumbling down
This only happens when I'm around
Play it, Fran.
But I would take on the gods to set things right
I’m choosing not to go down without a good fight
Let's make it happen yeah
Anything can happen so
here we go agaiiiiin
Sky comes tumbling down
But I might as well stick around
Sky comes tumbling down
You’ll find me trapped in the lost and found
Try to make the best of it
Still make a mess of it
You know the rest of it
So let's divest of it
This guilt they make me feel
I know it isn't real
I'm not responsible
I want these monsters all
gone

Phone on vibrate
I’m stepping up to the plate
I got my Starbucks early
So i wouldn’t be late
I’m wearing my lucky socks
Hey that’s my girl Patty Fox
Yeah you know that she cooks
That gal makes bagels and lox
I’ve got my team yeah I’m ready to go
But there’s something you should probably know
The New York Mills yea we know how to hit
The Blaseball industry? We’re killin’ it
We’re killin’ it
After the game
You know my energy’s spent
Go back to our apartment
Well it’s not ours we rent
Turn the tv on
And what do i see
Oh the Mills fans baby
Yeah they’re cheering for me
I’ve got my team yeah I’m ready to go
But there’s something you should probably know
The New York Mills yea we know how to hit
The Blaseball industry? We’re killin’ it
We’re killin’ it
And it's been so hard since we lost Dom and Wes
Still no bscension after trying our best
But there is one thing that we can all celebrate
In this cultural event we sure did participate
Participate
I’ve got my team yeah I’m ready to go
But there’s something you should probably know
The New York Mills yea we know how to hit
The Blaseball industry? We’re killin’ it

For the first three seasons of Internet League Blaseball,
the Crabs were a comically pathetic team.
I mean, really terrible.
And worst of all, we were only moderately fast.
In Season 4, thanks to star hitter Nagomi Mcdaniel,
we were playoffs contenders until the end of the regular season,
but it still wasn't enough. We were still too slow.
Then, in Season 5, everything changed.
For the first time in Crabs history, we played in the postseason.
We were knocked out in the first round, but that didn't matter.
Things were different this time.
This time, during the election,
the Crabs won 'Zombies, Run! Presents Horde Hallucinations,'
improving their Baserunning by 17%.
Today, the Baltimore Crabs
have the highest baserunning of any team,
at an average of 4 stars per player.
Had we attempted it in Season 4, or in Season 5,
we surely would not have defeated The Peanut.
But things have changed.
We're Fast Now.

It’s a 4 hour flight from Baltimore
to Breckinridge
and a 4 hour flight to get back
they’re counting the votes
at 3 on a Sunday
and my bags are already packed
On my 4 hour flight from Baltimore
to Breckinridge
I don’t wonder if I could stay here
All of the vultures
Keep calling me back
And I know I’ll be gone in a year
On the road again
From Baltimore
On the road again
To the snow
Wave goodbye to the Harbor
Hello to the hills
But who knows when I’ll have to go
It’s a 4 hour flight from Breckinridge
to Baltimore
and this time my body is trapped
the election’s a landslide
I’m left in the dark
but my bags were already packed
On my 4 hour flight from Breckinridge
to Baltimore
I wonder if I’ll get to stay
Who’d ever want Nagomi McDaniel
When she’s shelled and she can’t escape
On the road again
From Breckinridge
On the road again
To the Bay
Wave goodbye to the mountains
Hello to the coast
But who knows how long I might stay
On the road again… (x4)
Wave goodbye to the Styx and
Goodbye to the island
Goodbye to the Harbor
Goodbye to the mountains
Goodbye to my teammates
Goodbye to my rivals
Goodbye to the fans who have
made me their idol
On the road again
From Breckinridge
On the road again
From Baltimore
On the road again
On the road again
On the road again
On the road again
Wave goodbye to the mountains
Hello to the coast
But who knows how long I might stay

It all started when
Dudley ate a peanut
Ever since that day
Our players been in a rut
Ever since that day
Our favorite players go away
They have left our team
Nothing will ever make them stay
Why oh why
Are we cursed to serve this fate
Is there something we can do
To help shoulder this weight
I don't have time to wait
On our players they will prey
They have left our team
Nothing will ever make them stay
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever near
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever real
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever near
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever real
The fourth slot curse
all it does is take and take
Constant loss of players
is enough to make one break
Changing players on the fly
Sweeping ashes off the field
Its assuredly not phony
Please just dont tell summers pony
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever near
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever real
I will now read off a list of every Philly Pies member to
fall victim to the fourth slot curse as I do a sick solo
in the background, enjoy.
Forrest Bookbaby was incinerated Season 6, Day 21
Alston Cerveza was feedback swapped Season 6, Day 82
Hobbs Cain was incinerated Season 8, Day 10
Rai Spliff was feedback swapped Season 8, Day 27
Summers Pony was feedback swapped Season 8, Day 102
And Farrell Seagull is yet to leave us, we love you Farrell,
please don't go
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever near
Please don't leave me here
cause the fourth slot curse is growing ever real

sometimes your boyfriend
who’s not your boyfriend
who you make out with sometimes
comes back from the dead
and leaves you on read
and you’re not sure that he’s even alive
so you pick up the phone
and then you set it down
and you borrow your teammate’s guitar
there was that party with the lovers
cold june san francisco summer
when he and i danced for the first time
he told me i was our worst player
i told him he was just a hater
he told me dating me should be a federal crime
there was that time we met back in chicago
he held my hand and i didn’t let go
i left that party with his digits
he said he’d text me in a minute
but that was long before the null
and now he won’t call
won’t talk at all
and when he turns away he won’t even say goodbye
and now he won’t text
and i ask him what’s next
and he doesn’t reply and i wanna cry about it but i can’t
baltimore was something different
thought i might become significant
instead of just the other guy to you
we were alone cause we’re not likeable
and maybe that was inadvisable
but i’m not gonna lie to you
there was something in your eyes back then
that made me think that we weren’t just friends
but in the end it doesn’t matter
he’s just a pitcher i’m just a batter
he doesn’t care! way to go, declan!
cause now he won’t call
he won’t talk at all
and when he turns away he won’t even say goodbye
and still he won’t text
and i ask him what’s next
and he doesn’t reply and i wanna cry about it but i can’t
i watched you turn to ash on live tv
i watched you claw your way back out of the ground
now he's gone the world was half asleep
but now he’s back the world is upside down
so i pick up the phone and then i set it down
cause i know that he would only shut me out
so i pick up the phone and then i set it down
cause i know that he would only shut me out
so i pick up the phone and then i set it down
cause i know that you don’t want me around
so i pick up the phone and then i set it down
cause i know that you would only shut me out
and still he won’t call
won’t talk at all
and when he turns away won’t even say goodbye
and still he won’t text
and i ask him what’s next
and he doesn't reply and i wanna cry about it but i can’t

the fire is a warning
the fire is a home
the fire is destructive
but they are not alone
for her cries are ever heeded
in a place made long ago
the city that we all know as chicago
because the light that shines to guide us can blind us
because the warmth that brings us safety can burn our bridges down
because the smoke that seeks to warn us can choke us
and cause destruction can bring renewal to all of us
we heed the call
so when the spark ignites and the the sirens wail
just take a breath don’t fight together we can’t fail
the city’s chosen you to support the endless cause
welcome to chicago
now you’re one of us
because the light that shines to guide us can blind us
because the warmth that brings us safety can burn our bridges down
because the smoke that seeks to warn us can choke us
and cause destruction can bring renewal to all of us
we heed the call
i am from chicago
you are from chicago
we are from chicago

Houston Spies - Sabotage
02:42

I know that we're supposed to fight
but you see -
sabotage is classier.
we could, say, rig something to blow
up
or perhaps we’ve
slipped a Tues-
-day special in your
drink:
keep an eye out;
we could be me
we could be you
we will be watching.
[piano solo]
You think we’re sabotaging you?
That’s not true -
When you find your coffee spiked
it's because we know you can't sleep:
you
needed it, and
we take care
of our own, ‘cause
we fight the same cruel gods
we could be me
we could be you
we will be watching.

I don't remember the last time I saw the sun
I don't remember the last time I knew what it meant to be warm
Caught in the dark locked up inside my cell
I don't remember the last time I felt like myself
I'm too young to be wishing I was somebody else
But I can't help it when I hear them calling to me for help
How could I save you when I couldn't save myself
How could you save me when god put me in this hell himself
How could I save you when I couldn't save myself
How could you save me when god put me in this hell himself
Maybe there is something more
Maybe I can see the shore
Maybe it's time, maybe I'm coming home
Out in the light, maybe I'm coming home

Lookin' around the league
a sorry state
trapped in capitalism
tied to fate from
a coin
trumped up!
Y'all gonna track the plan
but here
this Tower
our hour
we're bringing change
y'all won't know what hit ya
Kick it off right aimin' at Moist Talkers
CONTEMPTIBLE
Got a Pope now huh?
Gonna worship that orb?
Gonna worship that squid?
Gonna get the Dot all squiddish and watch as
nothing changes
Take a look at the Mints
Breath or Death
S'all the same when you get down
to it
An end that's planned
ain't an end at all
just a transition
Fight the coin's mission
but you'll find out quick
when your only cry is
STOP
Y'ain't gonna make a
difference
Grill dads got the dad card
all right
but y'all really wanna be part of this system?
Steaks gonna claim the authority
but fun fact
No Gods
No Masters
No Emperor
just bats to crowns
Better hope your head's not there when I swing for the fences
Got a homer in my eyes and a rebel in my grip
Flowers gonna grow?
Where's your bloom then y'all?
Your Empress Mother Nature
turned its back on you
Veins fulla grass but wouldn't know it from your play
Maybe one day you'll get past 103
Speakin' of playoffs
anyone seen the Pies?
First to win two rings
a disgrace ever since
Haven't seen you in the finals 9 Seasons straight
Y'all went Hermit
after losin' JT
Tigers ain't much better
comin' close a couple times
but the Devil's in the details
keepin' y'all bound
Laughin' at my older self
fearin' your power
Why tame the Tigers
when y'all tamed yourselves?
An old-school Hand
in the light of the Moon
With you Spies
always tryin' to bewilder your betters
but y'all
ain't flippin' your odds anymore
The only one bewildered now is gonna be you
Better get a new look Beams
take that Hanged Man
How's the view
hangin' from the top of the League
but y'all you know
we're comin' for you
Take a pic
it'll last longer
than your brain cell
Magic got Magician
and I guess some magic musta been
flowin'
It's a miracle you made it that far
Don't call luck a conscious choice
that won't fly when you're crossin' me
Desperate for the power you know you lack
but you're trustin' in blood and gods
not yourselves
Hope you enjoyed that playoffs trip 'cuz
I'm bettin' y'ain't gonna make it back
Chariot is ridin' through Los Angeli
but if it's only seein' Tacos, well
must feel outta place
I dunno if you should call Snackrifice “success”
but if you're huntin' victory
I'm the game that fights back
Garages got Justice but you can't decide
where to keep Townsend
much less
DEICIDE
you yell while you flee
leaving gods to the Thieves
Guess it's true what they say
y'don't do
anything
Not to say that the Thieves did better
Wheel of Fortune says
JT WINS
Can't steal the kicks from Pods or gods
How you enjoying Tillman huh?
Mills gotta dip from the heat of Wild league
but they're keepin' up the rep to ruin everything
stealin' the Lovers right from San Fran's grip
drama trapped in an overpriced flat
Meanwhile Judgment for Crowvertime
Why else would y'all miss your icon card?
Lovers I'm sure Stephens just wants to chill
but we only lost to winners
I've got nothin' but spite (and maybe)
Dale pickin' up our would-be Star
but you know hope only comes from within
They say you're Party Livin'
but your record don't match
I'm not holdin' my breath for your Postseason run
Wings desperate for a bit of that Sun
suing Parker
swappin' leagues
Best luck in Wexico
You got your one ring
now good luck gettin' back
You're against the Hands now
we'll leave that confidence shaken
Never seen a Firefighter chill in their life
chanting
WE
ARE
FROM
Breckenridge, y'all!
Calm!
Don't need to do a thing now
y'all burned bright Season 5
but I see you gutterin'
burned out
Welcome to Party Time, Lift!
Think you've got Strength?
Need a spotter for that bar
shaky arms on rep three
I see you strugglin'
Watch out!
My flick might be deadly
lay you flat on your back
Crabs don't act like you escaped
Knocked flat by Quitter
now we see you up there
Couldn't cut it in the Big Leagues
got your cup of coffee
comin' back down
to an LLC
Damn capitalist
Yeah y'all
can't swing
like the
Jazz Hands
pitch is all outta tune
Might not be the best but we got that Groove
Eight OGs after Open Mic Night
Y'all tried to pick us clean
but you still can't keep us
out of the running
can't kick us down
Catch these hands
Oh, yo, Fridays?
We chill
Those High Priestess vibes suit y'all and your Lady

Watch me hit a pitch out to left field
all my fellow players know I don't yield
and when I stop on second it's to snap a selfie quickly
then I swim around the bases it's another home run
I'm Fish Summer
and I'm cooler than you
Don’t even try to argue
cuz you know it’s true
I’m Fish Summer
And you wish you were me
All the pitchers throw balls
When they look at my teeth
Careful not to get in my splash zone
It’s Moist Talker time for the league throne
And when we’re getting beaten all my shirts get eaten
Then I bring it back around with another home run
I’d apologize for all the trash talk
But I don’t know what sorry means, and I rock
And when I’m in the frier I simply swallow fire
Make the umps retire, then another home run
I'm Fish Summer
and I’ll rule over you
The other players see me
and they all feel blue
I’m Fish Summer
I’m a heluva catch
I hit a pitch
And the bat snapped in half
Let’s stop for a second and assess why I’m best
I may have flunked outta school
But I pass every test
I’m taking a swim
While you’re taking a rest
I’m working the gym
And I’m perfectly dressed
I’m so pragmatic I’m amazing and magmatic I’m a blaze of fire ‘round the bases swappin tales and sharing spaces holding hope for an ascension running with the best intentions
All - the way - from hell to halifax
Let’s take it back:
As a kid I was scrawny fish
but I had a dream and I had a wish
I knew that blaseball was my calling
Starting grinding starting hauling ass
to make my vision real
Learned to swing and learned to steal
Now I’m hot from head to heels
My at-bats star on highlight reels
[The crowd goes wild!]
[Spoken:]
Thank you, thank you, everyone
Well, if you insist
You are, just too kind
I'm Fish Summer
And I’m just that great
The crowd goes wild
When I step the plate
I’m Fish Summer
I’m the pride of the team
Tigers and Talkers,
You know what I mean
I'm Fish Summer
and I'm cooler than you
Don’t even try to argue
cuz you know it’s true
I’m Fish Summer
And you wish you were me
Pitchers throw balls
When they look at my teeth
I’m Fish Summer
It’s a hot fish, summer
Fish Summer
I’m Fish Summer
[Spoken:]
Hi, my name is Fish Summer, and I am Cooler than you are.

I'm getting bigger I'm a growing garbage hive mind
Talk spit
Get hits
Last one standing
Spray it
Don't say it
Last one standing
Burned and traded they're leaving me behind
I can remember them every single time
Every team member when you turned them against mine
Talk spit
Get hits
Last one standing
Spray it
Don't say it
Last one standing
Burned and traded they're leaving me behind
I bet on wet Cuz I'm the wettest of my kind
I manifest this mouth just to spit my rhymes
I'm gonna spit in the mouth of a god
I'm gonna spit in the mouth of a god
I'm gonna spit in the mouth of a god
I'm gonna spit in the mouth of a god
I've got a hunger for the don't know what I like
I'm getting bigger I'm a growing garbage hive mind
Burned and traded they're leaving me behind

Annie Roland was a faerie knight
protector of the wood
to Yellowstone she gave her heart
for the Magic, gave her blood
on that sunny day in Yellowstone
the Garages came to town
with Jaylen Hotdogfingers
cursed pitcher on the mound
Jaylen bore a heavy debt
From the void she'd returned
with incendiary pitches
to mark those the umps would burn
but Annie walked up to the plate
wings fluttering with grace
held up her bat and took her stance
with a brave smile on her face
When the pitch came Annie didn't flinch
though the ball struck hard and true
and Jaylen shrugged as if to say
“there's nothing I could do”
so Annie tossed her bat away
turned her face toward the sky
as the shadow of the moon
over the sun began to climb
and in the dim eclipse light
a rogue umpire drew near
eyes glowing red behind its mask
but Annie showed no fear
She took her silver sword in hand
raised it high and struck her foe
blood stained the ground a ruddy brown
and the umpire's head it rolled
the next day Jaylen pitched again
in that series for the ages
and again the moon turned day to night
and the umpires burned with rage
But Annie shied not from the plate
went to bat with head held high
and the ball again struck hard and true
when Jaylen let it fly
The rogue umpires gathered round
Annie watched the horde advance
and though she drew her silver sword
she knew she was outmatched
but then came Jaylen to her side
and said “I'll fight with you today--
I never chose this cursed life
but this is not your debt to pay.”
Their teammates did look on in fear
as the umpires swarmed around
and in the dim light, blood and dust
did hide the battleground
but Annie felt her strength again
and Jaylen fought as though possessed
with wooden bat and silver sword
the umps they put to rest
and when the moon went on its way
golden sunlight then did fall
on Annie, silver sword in hand
and Jaylen, standing tall

there was a time that your name would conjure fear
but once we met, the truth became so clear
you couldn't be more welcome by our side
even if you might have, an extra limb, or five!
within moments we knew the pact was sealed
but we weren't prepared for the things we'd feel
a sheer sense of wonder, and the strangest thing
we were siezed by a desire to dance and sing!
(that's right beams! this one comes out from the heart of yellowstone, and goes out to every last one of u!)
waves of power radiated from the place
where we made our deal, then face to face
an impossible moment, a great paradox
that stood in defiance of all the gods
and when they subsided, calm as can be
it was plain as day and anyone could see
the harmony between our respective vibes
as we gazed into all of your collective eyes
(sometimes i wonder, maybe all of this was predestined. you know? like, maybe it was just inevitable)
our paths are joined, our fates now linked,
and what will happen nobody can say
singing from sunbleached mountain peaks
that this anti-rivalry is here to stay
now united hands in hands
we will surely weather this nigh endless day
we're the Hellowstone Yellmouths now and we wouldn't have it any other way
(and ain't that the truth! you know what? it's a truth worth repeating. so let's go 'round one last time!)
our paths are joined, our fates now linked,
and what will happen nobody can say
singing from sunbleached mountain peaks
that this anti-rivalry is here to stay
now united hands in hands
we will surely weather this nigh endless day
we're the Hellowstone Yellmouths now and we wouldn't have it any other way

We're killin' the umps
our game's got no slumps
You don't rep the Dale
then y'all are all CHUMPS
305 calling

Max bets, we are all in
The Gods will retreat
We're killing this beat
Cause we are the Dale

We are batting back straight fire
We will be who's venerated

The gods are quaking
Our enemies are shaking
We'll beat all the odds
We'll fight all the gods
The Dale will party and we don't ever stop!

There is a grove of flowers where the shoes hang from the trees
Where violets glitch & stutter, shining atemporally
One flower-covered pillar grows from an old Doc Marten boot
You can see the laces wrapped around the root
Once a thief, always a thief
No blaseball player sleeps beneath the earth
No restful bed, No restless dead
Once a thief, always a thief
No matter where you are, when fire swallows you
We'll come for you
Whose kicks? (Our kicks)
Chorus:
Esme Ramsey, won't you call us home?
Esme Ramsey, I will trouble you no more
We fought god, oh we fought god
We broke ourselves against the pods
And lost
First cursed among the chaos
Empty shoes & open laces
Worn out souls & broken traces
So many lost, grist for the gods' mill
Burning on, but for the turning wheel
God is dead, behold ascension
Thick as thieves, beyond our comprehension
For the 502, Doyle & Gloom
We will see you one day soon
Crack the sky, behold the Hall Stars
Baltimore is beautiful
Scattered loose like teeth
When the time comes
Just ask yourself whose kicks are these
Chorus:
Esme Ramsey, won't you call us home?
Esme Ramsey, I will trouble you no more

We are the Hall Stars
And we answered the call
That cantankerous legume
Has had its final fourth strike call
We fought our friends so we could free them
And we fought in your stead
But/So why is it we've earned release
When there are those who are left dead
We are the Hall Stars
The Monitor responds
We are the Hall Stars
Peanuts have paid our bonds
We lived, we died, we paid our debt
We played this splort to our last breath
And now that we’ve transcended death
We will answer your call
The birds in the air are screaming
The gurgies drain our souls
Our fates eclipse the Gods above
The feedback, feedback takes its toll
Our battlecries of fighting Gods
Reverbs across the land
To bring an end to Discipline
We make our final stand
We are the Hall Stars
The Monitor responds
We Are the Hall Stars
Peanuts fulfilled our bonds
We lived, we died, we paid our debt
We played this splort to our last breath
And now that we’ve transcended death
We will answer your call
Jaylen and Alex
Can’t make up their minds
The batters are hitting dingers
The Shelled One’s in a bind
Young Kiki hits a homer
As Violence takes the field
Then Dominic Marijuana
Walks it off and makes them yield
We are the Hall Stars (We are the Hall Stars)
The Monitor responds
We Are the Hall Stars (We the Hall Stars)
Peanuts fulfilled our bonds
We lived, we died, we paid our debt
We played this splort to our last breath
And now that we’ve transcended death (Oh, we've transcended death)
We will answer your call
We are the Hall Stars
The Pods meet their demise
We are the Hall Stars
Our teammates stand before our eyes
We find release to meet our fate
No heaven at that ruby gate
We'll leave as you all celebrate
We’re craving Five Guys

There burns a bright and solemn fire,
Flames a-flicker atop the pyre,
A wound where the fragile Veil has thinned
Hear the telephones a-ringing?
Crows are circling and singing,
strands of music woven in the wind
Embers rise into the night,
glowing shards of fading light,
til they are lost among the cold and countless stars
Hear the drumming in the distance,
steady and insistent,
like the beating of a strange and monstrous heart
Feel the fiends approaching swiftly in the dark
singing
Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
Where will you stand
When it all goes wrong?
You think you have power
But I know you're weak
You think you can win?
I will make you weep
Where is your spirit?
From restless dreams try to awaken
Just as all seemed overtaken
The waking world and nightmares all the same
Beneath the cries of ‘Rest in Violence’
Susurration in the silence:
Static in the stands whispering your name
Feel the undercurrents pull
Reverb rushing in your skull
Distant voices calling you to Rise
And in the waters, a reflection,
An unearthly procession,
Torches gleaming in their bright, impassioned eyes
Like starlight summoned from the skies
singing
Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
Where will you stand
When it all goes wrong?
You think you have power
But I know you're weak
You think you can win?
I will make you weep
Where is your spirit?
Cloaked in ash and dyed with blood
Stances shift against the flood
Burning eyes, all a-glitter in the gloom
The final rays of dying sun
Fall upon our loss undone
Their countenances like unto an opened tomb
The lands of light and void astride
The Revenant ever abides
A blazing crown upon her fearsome brow is laid
Our hope and tribute now her armor
No man nor fiend can harm her
Though many've fallen by her hand, her debt repaid
And before her now the world shall be unmade
singing
Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
We stand together
When it all goes wrong
You think you have power?
I know you’re weak
You think you can win?
I will make you weep
I will never bow to you
I will not bend the knee
If you're expecting supplication
You won't get that shit from me
I will never yield
You cannot stop me now
If you want me off the field
You’ll have to strike me down
I'll strike you out!
Where is your spirit?
Free from chains that rent and tore us
Still destruction lies before us
Stadiums reduced to naught but rot and rust
And in our wake unweaves causality
Rewoven, strand by strand, as we
Arise and revel, dancing in the dust
Let the music heal your soul
Heed the call and be made whole
Raise your voices to the air, like dancing flames
Hear the final peal of thunder, as
The heavens split asunder, and
The Void consumes the gods and all their names
And with the world renewed the Season starts again...
singing
Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
Where will you stand
When it all goes wrong?
You think you have power?
We know you’re weak
You think you can win?
We will make you weep
This is our spirit
This is our soul song
We stand together
When the world’s gone wrong
We hold the power
We are not weak
We know we can win
