Logs
From them outside
Behind these walls
We might abide
Logs
It’s what we know
In times like these
You can’t be slow
Logs
The stack of wood
Quotas to fill
If only we could
Logs
The stack of stone
Until we rest
No more than bone
Logs
The cache of winter
By firelight
With aching splinters
Logs
It’s all for him
We stack them high
For they can’t swim
Logs
Against the waves
We dig them deep
Down to the graves
Them
I’ve seen them there
With my two eyes
It’s quite a scare
Us
We build the fort
From sky to sea
Starboard to port
Him
It’s all for him
He’s kept us safe,
Healthy, and trim
Them
For the journey there
It wore them out
Too long to bear
Us
From the frightened times
We fled the towers
They stole our dimes
Him
But he took us in
He made us strong
So we might win
Logs
Now it's our job
To drag them back
Our fingers throb
Hush
We can’t be found
We’ll sleep down deep
Below the ground
From them outside
Behind these walls
We might abide
Logs
It’s what we know
In times like these
You can’t be slow
Logs
The stack of wood
Quotas to fill
If only we could
Logs
The stack of stone
Until we rest
No more than bone
Logs
The cache of winter
By firelight
With aching splinters
Logs
It’s all for him
