    Just so you know, we really are all pretty sentimental, soft folks. Maxfield is sick of the killing; Savage senses that something is wrong; Ginzu sees a bad moon peeking over the horizon.

    Story Behind the Song
    The motivation was this sad-ass beat.

    Lyrics
    Sentinels 01:05
    The Sentinals
    The Lying City EP


    [jesse]
    I was
    Tired and miserable when a higher hand beyond the
    Physical grabbed me somewhere visceral.. then I became a
    Firebrand rhyme assassin, covered the entire land in
    Crimes of passion - It was at times distracting
    Now I'm camped out in a cemetary. Maxfield
    Makes it a policy - I never carry black steel
    Tallying the wasted MCs in roman numerals
    Killing in cold blood, crying at their funerals
    .And at their burials, a morbid fascination
    Battles with my dread at pulling more assassinations
    I'm not cut out for this work, and yet I'm drawn to it
    I know it's wrong and yet it's like I'm a conduit
    Some kind of vessel for the will of malevolent forces
    In hopes of breaking free, I study all the relevant
    Sources, and so far from what I've understood
    The reason I'm using my rhymes for evil instead of good
    Is a tired old hackneyed cliche, to put it cutely
    "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
    I can't stop killing those whose rhymes are smelly and chintzy
    Too jiggy, too hard, too Machiavellian Prince-y
    Justice is severe and based in retribution, you're
    Looking at the judge, jury and executioner
    ..
    I'll never understand why you chose me for your foul, bloody crime

    [jeff]
    Most bitterest gall doth dispose me to act
    (...something something... uhhh)


    [troy]
    There's a dark cloud behind every silver lining, the timing is accurate
    we just gotta get our heads in check,
    I break beats like elbow joints snapped backwards, mc's with wackwords
    will be hunted down from the urban to suburbia
    I don't care who heard of you, where you come from, or
    whatever imaginery horrors that you claim you'll never run from
    good guys finish last unless they cheat in the running, the sentinalz got
    my back and we can see you coming from miles down the road
    I'm not about to be told by some fake mc with gold chains
    and minor skills hyped on speed pills, you want cheap thrills
    look elsewhere than my rhymes I flow prophetic to the time scale
    - and till the day that I die I plan to play off my skills, give
    you weak minded kids the chills, I work hard to pay the bill
    and maybe leave a little tip for next time when you see me
    and my rhyme blows your mind to oblivion
    - we're living in the last days of earth, 2 0 0 0 new mellenium
    happens right there - neon, animated plug and play nightmare in
    stereo, when the machines play us like we played super mario
    invariable parameter code, we flip the jumpers, flip the script
    and slip away into stealth mode
    - you become the host, we'll be the parasite parallel to the afterlife
    heaven and hell,
