03. Of Up and Coming Monarchs [radio session]

Sunken ships rest
Upon the ocean floor
Where i've made my home
To dodge the draft once more

There once was a time
When one could flee to the north
But canada's not what she used to be
Boycott the war
When she could not afford to
Thanks to the new american queen

Swim with me and we'll escape
All the troubles of the present age
Finally free

Tthe mermaids teach us
How to breathe beneath
The line that now divides
Actions from apathy

04. Letter From a Concerned Follower [radio session]
