Estimation

You thought you did the math
Balanced things with care
You’d filled the sky with all your debts
But everything was square

The firmament rejected you
And burned your house of cards
And then you wanted us to trust
That you’d installed safeguards

We spurned your dark and baleful star
And sought our own solutions
A desert voice forecast your end
If we showed resolution

(chorus)

The sails are set, the anchor weighed
Our courage we have found
And with the Reader at our backs
The Sunbeams Charge The Mound

You saw us heading for the plate
You looked down with scornful glee

Did your calculus not account for us?
Sunbeams aren’t hard to see

Did you account for changing density?
Try to make us take the fall?
Your worst miscalculation was
Estimating us at all

We’ve seen you in the sky
We’ve stared into the Sun
And in our estimation, Coin
Your time above is done

(chorus)
The sails are set, the anchor weighed
Our courage we have found
And with the Reader at our backs
The Sunbeams Charge The Mound
