about

one more if you dare... the endless cycle

lyrics

Different plans, distance lands
We live our lives in the trees
As time may stand, unwind the strand
Of the changes on the breeze

It’s your last chance for the right way
It’s your last glance at the fight babe

Demons perch on the church tonight
We’ve killed all our sin with a stake
Will our greedy eyes still testify
As we lay here in bed wide awake?

It’s our last dance with the knife babe
It’s our last stance, well it might be

Here in the darkness we’re crawling forth
Movin’ towards a corpse
That we’ll leave in the dirt when we’re gone

Candles burn by a porcelain urn
As strangers take to the streets
We will only learn as the tables turn
To the hour of our defeat

It’s our last lance of the lightning
It’s our last chance and it’s frightening

Here in the darkness we’re crawlin’ forth
Beatin’ on an old dead horse
Runnin’ a one way course
Hidin’ our remorse
Drowning in the blood they force
Still movin’ towards a corpse
That we’ll leave in the dirt when we’re gone
