Arithmetic On The Frontier lyrics

We all have come close But do we ever die? The ones who seem to get so far Don't say that word So it's second-hand It's an inference It's arithmetic We learned a dying tongue To keep our secrets safe But there is no speech these weathered walls Can't understand Still the odds are on the cheaper man I looked the other way When my brother went and lost his mind I looked the other way When my captain turned against his creed And sold all his sacred shares to me.
