about

Taken from "The New Flesh EP"

lyrics

The hour's getting late
It's time to close the deal
Pressure from inside
Becoming far too unreal
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
The air is getting thin
The gates are now sealed shut – won't let me in
Keeping karma close
As my silent witness
Testimony of battles never won
Put my head on the scales of justice
See me prevail or come undone

Living on borrowed time
As I'm building towers to the sky
Dreams spread out far and wide
Walking through the flames of life
Failures now left behind
Lighting my way in the darkness

Fate – hear me now
I'm kicking in the door
To the kingdom I claim my own
Rage – embody me now
My vengeance shall be swift
I'm here to duly collect
The promise unfullfilled

In hidden rooms and behind locked doors
The engines of fortune thrive
Like wild beasts gone haywire
No control nor judgement from the outside
Total corruption unbound
Nepotism is the law
Makes your stomach turn in disgust
In disgust, in disgust
You shameless, spineless creatures
Never felt any guilt, never burdened by disgrace

Living on borrowed time
As I'm building towers to the sky
Dreams spread out far and wide
Walking through the flames of life
Lessons all learned - time to burn
Light my way through the darkness

Fate – hear me now
Rage – emdody me now
Fate – hear me now
I'm kicking in the door
I'm here to duly collect
The promise unfullfilled
