{phase 1; salmonids]
In the flicker of the flies
The glow compels us, fight and die
The light's reflection in our eyes
We charge to battle, hear our cries

We the salmonids in honor, fall
In combat, it's the winner who takes all
The salmonids shall never falter
Die and prosper!

We do not fear death
We fight to feed the spawning cycle
With our final breath

You who charge straight into battle
You who dare invade our land
Will surely soon face down your doom
Your life will fade in salmon goo

You hide amidst comrades as they bravely clash
Fish marching on
As the seven rings burn land-spawn into ash

Pans will bash

Hear the clock run down
For the final wave
The salmon shall keep running
To this honored grave

The way of life
Is that the fallen die and nourish!

Conquer salmon, or be conquered
See the smoke in rising tides
Oh, who shall be devoured?

We shall fight and we shall
Feast on your hide

We'll keep coming
Onward, onward, swimming
All will drown
Before the sound
Foes and brothers all alike shall fry!

Glowflies shimmer in the night
Compelling every salmonid to stand and fight
And future generations will soon rise and see
That light
In the visions of the flame
It matters not our face and name
Our flesh is what defines our worth
To fresh gestations of new birth!

So, you still invade our home
You still defy your flesh and bone
It's laid out out plain in monochrome
How meat must serve the earth alone

If in honor you refuse to fall
You desecrate the purpose of us all
The restless salmon never falter
Die and prosper!

{phase 2; salmonids, griller]
Griller

Death's a soldier's highest honor
Feed the flames of fury
And grill our foes on the skewer
Within our raging flood!
And the seas shall stain with blood
Ours or theirs, it matters not
All flesh shall one day serve
As nature's food!

Now let the fire rise!
Roil the skin and char the flesh
And melt the eyes!

We die!

With a single purpose
Fight 'til our meat falls away
Smoke shall fill the skies
Sapping strength from bodies of the slain

Everything will be devoured!

Flay, fillet us, split in twain
Flambé our flesh upon the flame!
Brothers, foes, it's all the same
For bodies shall remain!
Blood and flesh
Shall nourish all born from it's stain
Now cleanse our spawning grounds
With sludge and fury of the rain!

Promise of the future's worth the pain!

The salmonids all spawn to die
Sacrifice is the way we all survive
Battle, bleeding
Hearts still beating
Let our flesh decay!
Let the rot feed all
Who shall soon rise another day!

Let us be devoured
Feed the land the dues we pay!
