(Pronounced: Ger-shock)
DAWN OF A NEW
[Intro: Stanley]
Calling all adventurers to explore the great unknown
Those with the skills to dream,
But without the means to act
Join me as we bring an end to the era of gold
And bring about a new era of black
[Verse: Roswell (& Stanley)]
Come with us to foreign land
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
We're headed to the desert sand
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
We shall clean their greasy hands
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
Of substance they don't understand
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
[Chorus: Roswell (& Brann)]
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new)
[Verse: Roswell (& Stanley)]
Earn this Black Stone's sacred worth
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
It came from space and hit the earth
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
So carve this name upon your arms
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
And in our wings you won't be harmed
(Raise your fingers and follow me)
[Chorus: Roswell (& Brann)]
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new)
[Verse: Roswell]
Stones exchanged, now let's be clear
We, in this storm, were never here
But should your shadow touch the sun
Then you'll be looking down a gun
[Chorus: Roswell (& Brann)]
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new)
[Verse: Roswell]
Hang in men, we're almost there
The hardest part is out of our hair
Watch them guide us towards the foam
Now reel in we're going home
[Chorus: Roswell (& Brann)]
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's time
(Dawn of a new, dawn of a new)
It's mine
(Dawn of a new)
[Post-verse: Stanley]
Dark matter concentrate
Worth thrice in gold its weight
One sliver weighs a ton
One vat can swallow suns
And now it belongs to me
My claim on humanity
Mine diamonds while you still can
Till in the rough you're forever damned
[Post-chorus: Roswell]
Pain...
And yet we're still trapped out at sea
The weight...
Has lowered our velocity
[Post-verse: Roswell & Stanley]
Mirages on the sea
All eyes look back at me
Starvation setting in
Lick lips with subtle grin
Strong wills keep themselves alive
Weak souls are the first to die
Let's put them all to the test
Make 'em dance like marionettes
[Post-chorus: Roswell & Brann]
Pain...
And yet we're still trapped out at sea
The weight...
Has made an Ahab out of me, yea-heah
Pain...
Pain...
Pain...
Pain...

[Break: Stanley]
"We're accomplices now, Baxter
There's no going back"
[Bridge: Roswell]
*violent scat*
[Break: Stanley]
"No one else has to know, Baxter
You kept them fed, and they think you're a hero
But if you tell anyone else, I'll kill you!"
[Bridge: Roswell (& Brann)]
*violent scat*
(What's the matter now?)
(We've finally made it home)
(Is something going on?)
(You've gotta let it go)
