Hand Over Fist - Torque

In your so-called perfect World, life breeds life

Hate breeds hate, violence breeds violence

But some

Things are better left unsaid… By the same

Token

Things are better left undone…

Hand over fist my path is paved

A fine built on nerve has burned in front of me

Immortal, it yearns for, it burns contingency

From any level, at any rule, it all has suffered

An adverse outcome FREE ALL

Carry on with your SLOW CRAWL

Come and join the fray

Come see what you’ve left behind now

Turn around and see

Focus lost on an empty concept

A comfort known impossibly

The gentle twitch begins the freezing of your veins

It crumbles, it’s shattered, it rots internally

You can see, you should see, you will see

The adverse outcome FREE ALL

Carry on with your SLOW CRAWL

Come and join the fray

Come see what you’ve left behind now

Turn around and see

Focus lost on an empty concept

GONE DEAD!

Poisoned, false hope — I am here

Suffer, mislead — Travesty

Carnage, ripped from — Lives I feed

All over… YOUR SYSTEM’S GONE MAD!

Your words they fall on hollow ears

Your lives my stepping stones of fear

Your hopes a stain I will erase

Unlearned accept this fall from grace!

(Spoken) You can’t say that I didn’t warn you

Do you think that this is all there is?

This is nothing… All for not!

Hand over fist my stake is claimed

Your dreams scraped from my heals your future pre-ordained

It cowers, it whimpers enslaved eternally

All time bought, my path crossed no love lost

Just existence FREE ALL

Carry on with your SLOW CRAWL

Come and join the fray

Come see what you’ve left behind now

Turn around and see

Focus lost on an empty concept

GONE DEAD!
