Testing the Water

Hero’s and villains on this glorious quest.
Count’s for nothing, at all, to the ones who are left.
Don’t knows why you think we’re so dumb.
Just leaves us empty desperate and numb.
Testing the water each time someone’s down.
Testing the water someone might drown.
The news from the front comes quick, slips down the line.
The boots sink in the sand, but still marching in time.
Adventures and journeys pursued with such force.
The face in the mirror looks back, but shows no sign of remorse.
Testing the water, etc.
This is the land it seems no one wants to forget.
This is the land where the sun never sets.
Testing the water.
