""The Assault" was written about the Renaissance Street Singers. We rehearse in the evenings, deciding where to perform the following Sunday. And we appear unexpectedly, singing Renaissance sacred music to the astonishment and delight of strangers. And vanish, leaving memories. (Well, okay - sometimes cell phone videos.)"

¶Lyrics / Text

We attack by stealth, guerrilla warriors, plotting our targets under cover of night. Bombs of confetti, glittering tinsel, silver balloons that burst over the city, releasing rainbows. After we depart, children gather bits of crystal which melt harmlessly in their hands. No evidence remains; the memories linger.
