TREOS - The War Of All Against All

Look alive, gentlemen
Or fake your deaths; your wounds undressed beneath your costumes.
Some are so well rehearsed
For hearses it hurts, always the first to wave the white flag
And barricade themselves
In false pretenses, fox holed in trenches.
Forged casualties with casual pleas,
Dying to please the enemy
We die to stay alive, We kill to survive

We are the corps of corpses,
We are up in arms and armed
Bring all the king's horses and all the king's men

Push on, plod on, these legs like pistons pumping forward motion.
Convalescent men in uniform.
We have fallen to friendly fire, shrapnel freckles our spine.
Still our feet fall one by one.

We were led to lead lovers, while marching to the beat.
We were led to lead lovers, we kissed so well.

The cannon's calling our name,
I hear her singing to me
In morse code,
"This is our revolution!
To arms! To arms!
This is a revolution!"

We are the corps of corpses,
We are up in arms and armed.

Delicious beer Pt. 2

So about me reviewing beer every other day, not gonna happen. Instead, here's a smorgasboard of beer I've already had:

Rogue Mocha Porter: A very good porter, stronger coffee taste than others I've had. VERY dark and strong, this beer could suffice as a meal, which is what they were orginally designed to do.

Left Hand Milk Stout: A decent stout, but then all stouts are pretty decent to me.

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout: This was amazing. Probably the best stout I've ever had. Mellower than Gray's and Guinness Extra, very good with a meal.

Victory Golden Monkey: Ugh, didn't like this at all. Tasted a little like a Barleywine, which is why I didn't like it. Try mixing Miller with Dr Pepper and you might get something like this.

Victory Prima Pils: Good Pilsener, basically tasted like Urquell. I'm really becoming a fan of hoppy beers, like Pale Ales and Pilseners, especially along with meals. It's hard to drink without food, however.

Great Divide Titan IPA: EXCELLENT IPA, probably the best I've had. Better than Sierra Nevada, better than Alpha King. Although AK is quite different...

Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale: Not too bad, kind of sweet towards the end which I'm not a huge fan of. Would be better along with some food, I think

I think that's about it.

SOTM: ZZ Top - Give Me All Your Lovin'
MOTM: Adaptation
BOTM: Rogue Mocha Porter
