The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

In The Spirit Of Treason

Chances are
Come time to remain
It wears our crest
It knows of our land our domain
Deep thought in time of massacre

But after, that's when the River can explain

I released the burden 
The arrow out the quiver
The AR15 or the M16

But this time, there is no profit to save us
Proof of reverence deep in our vein

Today, I feel a fight but with no man or life against
Just to keep water below my neck
The ones should never be given the power
Poverty's grip bounces in the street
Then acts like a clown and becomes the wind

The weight is incredible
But it floats away 
Carried by those with love deep

Enter the invited invaders 
Their white hanker-chief waiting to be
Someone with a free ticket
Someone the opposite of me
