lyrics

each of us is a precipice
with a slumbering dark
swarming demons dwelling deep
waiting just for a spark
for a man to be a man
with the beast on a leash
give us law, lock us up in rules
give us roles to play
a blind spot is what it craves, for it never sleeps
sloppy gods, a broken code, power uncontrolled
twilight of the soul closing in on me
at the gates I stand to my vantaback
no machine will calculate any thought that is black
seers cannot prophesize when a heart bears a crack
each of us is a paradox with a chaos inside
bearing masks of sanity with a predator’s snarl
always at war, always at war, man fights beast
longing for more, raging inside, begs for release
stigmatized, this must be brutal you, brutal me
power blinds, we're slaves of violence
power blinds, we're slaves of force
reason binds whatever's sinister
reason binds whatever's raw
