The war machine was waxed and cleaned
But the wolves they trained were slow
No matter the shine and no matter the gleam

The wheels just spun in the snow

The best marine had been blessed by the queen

With a badge for the best in show
But the bronze turned green as he lost his steam
While the ebb trickled down to a flow


The trees weren't green but the frost turned to stream
As the carbon melts the snow

The ash fell free as the blackbird screams
At the hibernates below


You're breaking up, you're broken
What's said remains unspoken
To have a vice is always nice

A parcel or a token

The ice had thawed by the grace of god

And we asked, please sir, for more
No, he said, see I'm better off dead
And we've been through this before


So we took to land, did it all by hand
As we carved through the melt of the snow

The mold that grew knew what to do
For the hibernates below


You're breaking up, you're broken
What's said remains unspoken
To have a vice is always nice

A parcel or a token
