To bow when they died.
The archers withstood the charge.
One final volley.

One final volley
Jumping up and swinging hard
Helped us win the game.

Helped us win the game
And earned himself the title
Greatest of All Time.

Greatest of All Time
Unmatched in all the aspects
For which one is judged.

For which one is judged
By color, size, or wingspan
But not by the heart

(Couldn't help hearing
Deer's last line being sung by
Bon Jovi...and so:)

But not by the heart
Can you feel shame, because you
Know love is no game

Know love is no game:
Shot to the heart, you're to blame.

Salmon never swam,
Nor did these leap aloft; they
give fish a bad name.

Give fish a bad name
Whiting, bream, jack sprat

Stickleback's revenge:
small stinging bleeding punctures
in fisherman's hand

In fisherman's hand
Salt-rotted rope callouses
Clutch one pale pink rose.

Clutch one pale pink rose
Strongly sing of love tonight
Give us tears of joy.

Give us tears of joy.
Ecstasy of raw, ripped bliss
in these rags of light.*

Drink your hot water

in your parched mouth. Ah!

In your parched mouth. Ah!

Wagon Wheels, for two.

Wagon wheels, for two.
Carving ruts through the prairie.
Heed river crossings!
