PLAYERS ON THE FIELD

They align in position
Ready to move the ball
Doesn't matter how long they're gone
The know to whom the play will fall

Oh they will shout about
Foul play on the field
Fully aware of masks being worn
And the inability to face the guild

No TRUTH can hold them
No free flow in the ranks
They are the middle blocks
Separating rulers from the skanks

When the roll is called up yonder
And the scores all tallied up
You'll find ornate trophies
Are still just empty cups
