This adventure is getting perilous I think I’d like to turn back now Too late, too late! The decision was made Careening toward our fate Another damn disappointment Excuse me while I feign surprise Any hope of victory was the spark of my demise Smoldering embers Enough left to stoke the flames But with lack of oxygen Soon nothing will remain Dealt the cards, we’ve been played Live by their rules or die in the game Burn it down or attempt to stay? Can we hold for one more day? And will it even matter anyway? Too easy to retreat Embrace the laissez-faire Too proud to accept defeat but defenses are crumbling The fear sets in Envelops like warm death What would you say you wish you did with your last breath? Why does the world weigh so heavy on my mind, when I can hardly pick myself up off the ground? And I lay awake at night demanding answers from the silence that surrounds me They never come
I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
