A crazy walk we'll go on, a crazy walk indeed;
Along the way we'll leave our roots, we'll sow all our seeds.
Sort the data then match it up, and soon you will arrive,
At that single second, when you know that you're alive.
One group can continue, one cannot just yet;
The answer is the next in line, care to make a bet?



From the mountains that surround you
Growling for the fray
Loud let the bells them ring
March on through
So turn on the steam team
I'm the bird to make 'em weep and wail
In the battle we're tried and true
Carry on with all your might
Go get 'em
Give a cheer rah rah
Never daunted we cannot faulter
Fight to the finish never give in
We've got the spirit in it
As we gather round the well
With a sis boom hip hoorah
For here they come with banners flying
We'll fight fight fight
We've got the team to win it
Carolina goodnight
Never fear, rah rah
We'll yell like hell
If I had a daughter sir
We Wear the colors white and blue
In the books of fame we'll write your name
We are right for the fight today
This day we hail you and we cheer you
The stars and stripes will gleam
Till the battle is won
Watch the points keep growing
Honor now her name again
When cross the field our foe has fled
As we roll to that goal, varsity
True to the our hearts will be
Firm and strong, united are we
Ring out ahoya
as Davie did in days of old
See their team is weakening
We'll fight with all our might for the red and white
Come join the band
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star
We'll sing a song for the flag today
Do it again for the white and blue
For the touchdown's there for you
Stand fellows, let us salute her name
Hit them hard and see how they fall
each loyal son knows she ne'er more will lose
To far across the sea
Cheer for the team at play
Its specialty is winning
You cannot get away!
Fight Blue Devils fight
Circle the ends and crash through the center
A college bell to put it in
Push up the score, keep fighting for more
Talk about the Tiger and his tail
So ready for that old long yell rah rah rah
Talk about the Wildcat, and those Cornhuskin' boys
Fight fight Blue Devils
We'll sing your praise tonight
Symbol of might to the foe

I swear if I get one of these, I'll be damned if I put a rhyme in it. :)

That's not a puzzle; it's a ballad from Yes.

My guess is that they were a red herring.

Edited:

Well, there you go.. I guess they weren't a red herring ;)
