Casual loops
Paradoxes
We’ve seen this before
Like we were in a cinema
Experience tempers
What we didn’t have before
Moxie
Bravery
Confidence
It is in these
Baptizing fires
Of nitrocellulose
Burning in their reels
That we emerge
As a phoenix from a dove
We were great before
Now we rise beyond even
That title which marks
Us legendary
Scorching flames leaving
Scars on the feathers
We leave behind the pain
