{{Quote|We take our first breath, with no memory of who we were before, yet we are inexorably drawn to the [[Light]]. We fight, we die, and we live again.|[[Zavala|Commander Zavala]].}}
'''Guardians''' are [[Lightbearer]]s who serve the [[Vanguard]] as protectors tasked with defending the [[Last City]] and [[Sol System|Solar System]] against the forces of evil, such as [[The Witness|the Witness]], [[Fallen]], [[Hive]], [[Vex]], [[Cabal]], [[Taken]], and various other threats.


==Overview==
Intro]
{{Quote|Legends are carved across history by the brave.|Grimoire Description.}}
NITETIME
As [[Lightbearer]]s, Guardians cannot recall their past lives, and the deliberate pursuit of information on their past life was forbidden. The Guardians have defended the [[City]] for centuries, however, that defense cannot hold out forever.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Guardians|Guardians]]''</ref> Guardians are charged with the protection of humanity's survivors, but many have splintered off into other groups with their own agendas. For example, it is commonplace for Guardians to align with one of the City's several [[Factions]] for support. Some, however, leave the City altogether, such as those aligned with the [[Concordat]] or the Cult of [[Osiris]]. Few have turned their back on the Light and humanity altogether, such as the villainous [[Dredgen Yor]], the original wielder of [[Thorn]].
Bitch, there's a ghost in the house


Guardians are equipped with an advanced arsenal of weaponry and vehicles, as well as the ability to channel the Traveler's [[Light|power]] (referred to by some as "magic").<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=1 '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams'']</ref> It is said that some Guardians rarely speak.<ref name="FWCReddit">[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2a08mn/tower_npcs_breakdown_the_jovians_osiris_the_great/ '''Tower NPCs Breakdown''': ''The Jovians, Osiris, The Great Pyramid, Sun Legion, Ragnarök, etc.'' (Part 2)]</ref>

I like the way they drop when I'm outside (huh)
I like the way they run, then fall, then die (okay)
I like the way they drop when I'm outside (okay, huh, huh)


Thanks to their Ghosts, Guardians are effectively immortal in most situations. They take advantage of this fact in a number of ways, whether it's through the live-fire training exercises of the [[Crucible]] and Lord [[Shaxx]], or by making new discoveries via visions as [[Thanatonaut]]s. However, Guardians can be permanently killed if their Light is drained by a powerful enemy, such as powerful figures of the [[Darkness]], or if their [[Ghost]] is destroyed. According to [[Emperor Calus]], it is possible to permanently kill Guardians without having to drain their light first, but the method of how to do this has been forgotten by the [[Red Legion]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Lore tab: [[Turris Shade#Turris Shade Gauntlets|Turris Shade Gauntlets]]''</ref>

Godzilla raised me (wassup), earthquakes can't shake me (huh, huh)
Ashes to ashes, we knucking and bucking (yeah)
If we ain't fighting, who the fuck you touching? (yeah)

Empty out yo' block like, nigga, no Rushin' (huh)
Wrap on my fist, let it rip, make 'em sick (okay)
Punch in the head, on his face, break my wrist (damn)


Guardians can also be killed permanently by destroying their Ghost first, removing their ability to resurrect, and then killing the Guardian. <ref>Cayde-6's Death, Forsaken</ref> A Guardian can still live on after their Ghost is destroyed, living their "last life" as some have said, but are cut off from their abilities with the Light, being referred to as Lightless. However, a Lightless Guardian can still have access to Darkness-aligned abilities, such as [[Stasis]] and [[Strand]], thereby making them not completely powerless.
[Chorus: ZillaKami]

I like the way they drop when I'm outside (huh)
I like the way they run, then fall, then die (okay)
I like the way they drop when I'm outside (okay, huh, huh)


==History==
During the Golden Age, the average lifespan for Humanity tripled, but as the Collapse started and the Golden Age came to an end, the Traveler in its last breath released the Ghosts and they resurrected the first Lightbearers.
===Dark Age===
{{Quote | No one knew what had happened to the Traveler. No one understood what had happened to the world. But they heard the whispered call.|Ghost Fragment: The Dark Age}}


The Guardians' origins are rooted in the very origins of the Last City itself, in the [[Dark Age]] that followed the [[Collapse]].<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> In the earliest days, when the survivors of the Collapse were gathering beneath the [[Traveler]] and groups like [[Takanome's Rangers]] were all that separated refugees elsewhere from certain death, the Guardians were known as The Risen. Having been granted the power to wield the [[Light]] by their [[Ghost]]s, The Risen lacked a common, unifying purpose, and took up roles as enforcers and bodyguards for the first [[Faction]]s of what would become the Last City. As the Factions feuded over their competing ideologies and competed for influence among the residents of the fledgling city under the Traveler, some of The Risen became disillusioned and abandoned their Factions, seeking a higher purpose. With tensions between the Factions already near the boiling point, this triggered the [[Faction Wars]], a violent conflict that only ended when The Risen ceased fighting each other in order to unite against a new enemy that threatened them all: the [[Fallen]]. In the end, the Fallen were repelled, the Factions' iron grip was broken, the city under the Traveler became the Last City with massive walls erected to protect it, and the Risen became known as the Guardians.<ref name="RA">'''Bungie (2014-12-10)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls|Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls]]''</ref>
[Verse 2: SosMula]
Draco on my wish-list, hope I get it Christmas
Same Ruger, same shooter, all I did was switch clips
Boy, you stupid, I'm a shooter, 'til it go click-click
Fucking on a thick bitch, cumming on your bitch lips
Pussy, pull up, got my hoodie pulled up
Pussy shot out, got my fully tongue-tied
Quick to draw, hit the floor, them niggas duck-duck
Shoot you up, driving up, screaming "What, what?"
So bitch up again
You gon' have to pick up your friend
Matter of fact, pick up your chin
You might as well have to pick up your limbs


===Destiny===
[Chorus: ZillaKami]
Centuries after the Collapse, a stray [[Ghost]] wanders through the ruins outside the [[Cosmodrome]], searching for a new Guardian. It finds someone long deceased among the ancient remains and revives them. Ghost leads the new recruit out of the Cosmodrome and back to [[The Last City]] after finding a [[ship]], and introduces them to the people of the [[Tower]]. The recruit returns to the Cosmodrome to explore; after slaying an [[Archon]] of the [[House of Devils]], the recruit gains an audience with the [[Speaker]], who confides in them that the Darkness is returning and that the recruit must help protect the City any way they can.
I like the way they run, then fall, then die (okay)
I like the way they drop when I'm outside (huh)
I like the way they run, then fall, then die (okay)
I like the way they drop when I'm outside (okay, huh, huh)
[[File:Poko|thumb]]
"November Rain"


The recruit (now dubbed '[[The Guardian]]') makes two important discoveries while in the Cosmodrome; the first is that the [[Hive]], who had slain countless Guardians after they were beaten back to the [[Moon]], have returned to Earth to prepare for an invasion. The second is that [[Rasputin]], a Warmind, has survived the collapse, and has restored contact with the rest of the solar system. The Guardian travels to the Moon to investigate the Hive threat; they receive an urgent message that the Hive are attempting to drain the Traveler of its light and that they must be stopped at all costs. However, they also run into a mysterious [[Elisabeth Bray|stranger]], who tells them to meet her on [[Venus]] to stop another rising threat.
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same


After stopping the Hive ritual, The Guardian travels to Venus and discovers the [[Vex]], a machine race bent on dominating reality itself. The Stranger tells The Guardian that the only way to stop the Vex and save the Traveler is to enter the [[Black Garden]] and destroy its [[Black Heart|heart]]. The Guardian seeks counsel with the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]]; [[Queen]] [[Mara Sov]] tells them that the only way into the Garden is to retrieve the eye of a Vex [[Zydron, Gate Lord|Gate Lord]]. They assume it to be a suicide mission, but The Guardian returns with the eye. The Queen tells The Guardian that they now owe her a favor in return for her information.
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain


The entrance to the Black Garden, located on [[Mars]], lies behind thick [[Cabal]] defenses. After successfully restoring the Gate Lord's eye using dormant Vex technology, The Guardian enters the Black Garden, a strange Vex realm outside of normal spacetime. At its center is the Black Heart, an abomination that the Vex worship and seek to use to bend reality to their will. The Guardian kills its protectors, the [[Sol Progeny]], destroying the Heart and freeing the Black Garden from Vex control. Light begins returning to the Traveler. But to finish off the Vex threat, The Guardian must enter the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]], the source of the Vex's reality-altering powers, and kill its leader, [[Atheon, Time's Conflux|Atheon]].
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain


===The Dark Below===
But lovers always come and lovers always go
{{main|The Dark Below}}
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
[[Eris Morn]], the last survivor of a fireteam to stop the Hive god [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], is looking for Guardians to help her. The Hive's return to Earth is but a prelude to the return of Crota, whom his followers are attempting to awaken. Eris sends The Guardian into the Cosmodrome to stop the invaders, especially after they attempt to kill Rasputin. She then sends The Guardian to stop the Hive's awakening ritual on the Moon. After eliminating Crota's generals, The Guardian finishes off Crota himself in his netherworld, the [[Oversoul Throne]], deep within the Hellmouth.
Walking away


===House of Wolves===
If we could take the time
{{main|House of Wolves (expansion)}}
To lay it on the line
The Reef is embroiled in civil war as the [[House of Wolves]], a Fallen house that Queen Mara Sov had conquered, is now in open rebellion. Their leader, [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]], has declared himself the Kell of Kells and wishes to unite the Fallen under his banner. The Queen has summoned the Guardians to aid her in ending the rebellion, in return for the Reef's treasures. The Guardian is aided by [[Petra Venj]] and [[Variks, the Loyal]], with whom they search for Skolas and put a stop to his plans. After failing to seize control of the House of Devils and [[House of Kings]], Skolas instead attempts to seize control of the Vault of Glass and the Vex technology within. The Guardian finally captures him atop the Citadel, stopping him from summoning his entire House through the Vex's time portals. Skolas is sent back to the [[Prison of Elders]], where he's finished off once and for all.
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain


===The Taken King===
Do you need some time...on your own
{{main|The Taken King}}
Do you need some time...all alone
[[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]], the father of Crota, has sent his Hive fleet to avenge his dead son. Using his terrible power, Oryx creates a new army called the [[Taken]] and lays siege to the entire solar system. The Awoken fleet attempts to stop him before he can enter the Inner System, but they are utterly destroyed. He then starts Taking the Cabal stationed on [[Phobos]], which catches the Vanguard's attention. Responding to a distress signal, The Guardian is sent to investigate. Upon seeing the devastation, The Guardian is confronted by a vision of Oryx, who tells The Guardian that he is there to pay back humanity for his son's death. Realizing the threat that laid before them, [[Cayde-6]] crafts a plan with The Guardian to sneak aboard Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]]. Though they are successful, they cannot enter Oryx's inner sanctum until The Guardian becomes [[Ascendant Hive|Ascendant]]; Eris helps The Guardian recover the last fragments of Crota's Soul, allowing entry into Oryx's chambers, where they duel.  
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone


Though Oryx's physical form was defeated, he retreated even further into the ship, recovering his strength. Meanwhile, the Guardians work towards [[Taken War|pushing the Taken out of the system]]. Once Oryx's lieutenants, the [[Court of Oryx]], have been defeated the Guardians push deeper into the Dreadnaught to seek out Oryx within his [[Ascendant Realm]]. There, he confronted the Guardians with his full might, even pulling them into a Darkness dimension. But in the end, using Light [[Warpriest|stolen]] [[Golgoroth|from]] [[Light-Eater Ogre|his]] [[Light-Eater Knight|pawns]], Oryx was slain permanently.
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you


===Rise of Iron===
Sometimes I need some time...on my own
{{main|Rise of Iron}}
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
The Fallen [[House of Devils]], while looting ancient tombs from the [[Golden Age]], accidentally unearth a self-replicating nano-technology plague known as [[SIVA]] within the depths of the Old Cosmodrome. This plague mutates the Devils into powerful machine gods which collapsed [[The Wall]] in Old Russia, prompting [[Lord Saladin]], the last of the [[Iron Lords]], to personally lead the Guardians in a final stand against the plague, raising a new generation of Iron Lords to guard the [[Last City]] once more. The Guardian successfully ends the SIVA threat and is made an Iron Lord, with the title of 'Young Wolf'.
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone


===Red War===
And when your fears subside
The Guardian ranks would be thrown into discord after the destruction of The Last City by [[Dominus Ghaul]], commander of the Red Legion, one year after the [[SIVA Crisis]] and two years after the [[Taken War]], after the Skyburner's distress signal reached [[Dominus Ghaul]].<ref name="Last Call">[http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/28/15095770/destiny-2-first-teaser-trailer-video-bungie-cayde-6  '''Polygon''' - ''Watch the first teaser for Destiny 2'']</ref><ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – "Rally the Troops" Worldwide Reveal Trailer'']</ref>
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


Guardian forces were left powerless after the [[Light]] had been sealed by the [[Traveler Cage]] and were hunted en masse by [[Red Legion]] forces, with many being executed. Though trapped, the Traveler sent visions to the now lightless Guardians to seek out one of its fragments in the [[European Dead Zone]], whereby they could regain their powers. Dominus Ghaul attempted and failed to win the Traveler's approval and make him into a Guardian, and simply took the light by force. When he gloated in front of the Traveler, the Traveler suddenly broke its cage and destroyed Ghaul, as well as slowly healing itself by drawing fragments back into itself. With the invasion ended and the city retaken, the Traveler was declared no longer dead but living once more, thus bringing back the light to the guardians all over again.
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one


===Forsaken===
Don't ya think that you need somebody
In a prison break at the [[Prison of Elders]], Cayde-6 was permanently killed by [[Uldren Sov]], resulting in decreased morale among the Guardians. The Vanguard ordered every available Guardian to track down and eliminate or capture every escapee from the Prison, but it still wasn't enough to prevent them from terrorizing the Solar system. [[The Guardian|One Guardian]] journeyed to the [[Reef]] and hunted down Cayde's killers, Uldren and the [[Scorn]] [[Baron]]s.
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one


After avenging Cayde, the Guardian discovered the [[Dreaming City]], and [[Mara Sov]] ordered [[Petra Venj]] to allow Guardians into the city to combat the Taken corruption that was spreading through the city. This culminated in a [[Last Wish|Raid]] into the center of the Dreaming City by a fireteam of Guardians, where they successfully freed [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] from being Taken, then killed [[Riven|Riven, of a Thousand Voices]]. However, in death, Riven granted one last wish to an entity Riven only referred to as "[[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|She]]".
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one


===Season of the Forge===
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Following the events of [[Forsaken]], [[Uldren Sov]] was revived by a [[Ghost]] as a Guardian of the [[Light]] at his resting place in the Dreaming City.
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody

1.
The unearthing of [[The Lunar Pyramid]] brought forth [[Nightmare]]s born of the traumatic memories of many Guardians, forced once again to confront their past enemies and shames.
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
CHORUS:
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
2.
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.

In the victory of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

He inspired us for labour and for acts of heroism
CHORUS

In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism
We see the future of our country
To the Red flag of our glorious Fatherland
We shall always be selflessly loyal


===Beyond Light===
[Intro: Axl Rose]
When news of the power hidden on [[Europa]] spread, many Guardians came to the moon to harness the [[Darkness]]-born power of [[Stasis]]. This created fractures within the [[Vanguard]], with many arguing that there was no problem in wielding the Darkness as if it was Light, while others denounced this as foolishness. In the end, Darkness wielders among the Vanguard still exists, though many continue to hold that it is a corrupting power.
Ooh, ooh
Hey


===The Witch Queen===
[Verse 1: Axl Rose]
Guardians were forced to confront their beliefs once more, when the [[Hive]] [[Lightbearer]]s of the [[Lucent Brood]], risen by Ghosts like Humanity, came from [[Savathûn's Throne World]] to harvest the Light of the City's protectors. Many Guardians died their final deaths against these new Lightbearers, but so did the Vanguard strike back, with the help of the [[Imperial Cabal]]'s light-suppressing technology. While the Lucent offensive was halted, their Lightbears continue to roam the Throne World, a reminder that Humanity may no longer be the chosen protectors of the Traveler. Upon defeating Savathûn and forming [[The Coalition|the Coalition]], Guardians worked tirelessly to prepare for [[The Witness|the Witness]]'s arrival in the Sol System.
Mama, take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door


===Lightfall===
[Chorus: Axl Rose]
The Guardians pursue a [[Shadow Legion]] fleet heading for [[Neptune]] when the Witness discovers [[The Veil|the Veil]]'s location. In the process of stopping the newly-risen [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]] Calus from linking the Veil to the Witness with the assistance of the [[Cloud Strider]]s, they learn a fundamental truth about the nature of Light and Darkness: Light is a neutral force affecting the physical world and Darkness is a neutral force affecting the mental world. They would uncover the power of [[Strand]] as well. Despite their victory over Calus, the Witness exploited it to open a portal to the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]] and begin its plans to enact the [[Final Shape]]: a form of perfect stillness within the universe using both Light and Darkness. In their attempts to find a way through the portal the Witness opened, they learn of its origins from [[Ahsa]] and discover that the only way to get through the portal required the help of the [[Ahamkara]].
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ayy hey yeah
Oh, yeah, oh yeah, aw


===The Final Shape===
[Verse 2: Axl Rose]
Crow volunteers to enter the Pale Heart, and his paracausal connection with Mara allows the other Guardians to follow him inside. They were able to gain power directly from the Traveler in their mission to stop the Witness from enacting the Final Shape. They were also able to break the barrier between Light and Darkness by acquiring the power of [[Prismatic]]. They learn how to wound the Witness from the dissenters imprisoned by the Witness within the veiled statues. They confront the Witness at the site where long ago, a faction of [[Precursors (Species)|Precursors]] called the [[Penitent]] used the Veil to become the Witness and wound it with the Light via the destruction of the dissenter statues. They would confront it again within its monolith after growing closer with their Coalition allies and force the Witness out of the monolith, permanently preventing the Final Shape from coming to pass and also giving the Coalition an opportunity to defeat it once and for all. [[Empress Caiatl]], [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]], [[Luzaku]], [[Nimbus]], and more would aid the Guardians in the final battle against the Witness. They channel both the Light and the Darkness to defeat the Witness once and for all. With its defeat, the [[Echo (object)|Echo]]es were created and spread throughout the system, beginning the arms race to secure them from enemies of the Last City.
Mama, put my guns in the ground (Ooh)
I can't shoot them anymore (Ooh)
That cold black cloud is comin' down (Ooh)
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door (Ooh)


==Gameplay==
[Chorus: Axl Rose]
There are 3 classes of Guardian: [[Hunter]]s, [[Warlock]]s, and [[Titan (class)|Titan]]s. Hunters utilize swiftness, precision, and stealth to efficiently slay their enemies. Warlocks have the least amount of armor but the fastest regeneration and utilize a variety of projectile attacks in their abilities. Titans are able to both take and deal massive amounts of damage, prioritizing either one depending on their subclass. <ref>[http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelvenables/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-unveiled '''Forbes.com''' ''Bungie's Destiny Unveiled'']</ref> Titans emphasize armor and raw power, while warlocks emphasize the use of their magical abilities and agility. Hunters fall in between both classes.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/11/jason-jones-the-destiny-interview.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 '''Gameinformer''': ''Jason Jones - The Destiny Interview'']</ref> The Guardians include members of the [[human]], [[Awoken]] and [[Exo]] races, and can be either masculine or feminine.
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ayy hey yeah
Ooh


While the choice of race is mostly aesthetic, the choice of class will have more impact. Note that all three classes have access to almost all the same weapons, and are not "locked in" to any particular role. However, each class can specialize in a particular direction depending on which subclass the player is using. Choices of subclass will determine what [[Super]] the player can use, as well as what bonuses and other lesser abilities they'll have access to. Subclasses can be leveled up and switched on the fly, allowing a single character a degree of flexibility for different combat scenarios.


Guardians have 6 base stats determined by their choice of subclass: Resilience (damage resistance and Titan class ability cooldown), Mobility (movement speed, jump height, and Hunter class ability cooldown), Recovery (regeneration speed and Warlock class ability cooldown), Strength (melee ability cooldown), Discipline (grenade ability cooldown), and Intellect (Super ability cooldown). Each class benefits more from one stat but can still emphasize others. Choice of armor and subclass fragments can influence the changes in these 6 stats.
[Guitar Solo]


While players gain levels with experience, these levels are mainly for determining what gear and missions are unlocked. The player's actual strength is determined by [[Light]] levels. Light represents the average attack and defense values of the player's currently equipped weapons and armor; every mission has a recommended light level, so players who meet that recommendation are more likely to succeed said mission.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3hgllk/the_taken_king_reveal_teaser_destiny_year_two/ '''Reddit''': The Taken King Reveal Teaser - Destiny Year 2]</ref> Generally speaking, items with more [[rarity]] have a higher light level than others.

You just better start sniffing your own rank subjugation, Jack
Because it's just you against your tattered libido

And it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive
