Through all of my life I have felt it draw near
It's a sense of darkness closing in on me
There is something that pulls on all my primal fears
Instinctive, insidious, thing that should not be

When it reaches out and pulls you back
It tells you have no right
Your consciousness is under attack
You're too smothered to fight

From every memory that flits through your mind
Striving for survival cause your time's not come
Regretting the past days is a waste of your time
Before you know it the present will be gone

When the fear hits you and holds you down
You know that it's not right
You can break the chains stand your ground
It's time for you to fight

Stab it in the eye
Stave off the cadence of death
Don't break down and cry
Fight off the cadence of death
Stab it in the eye
Drive off the cadence of death
You will never die
This is not your final breath

Battered and bruised by the giants in the streets
You've been abused and can't get back on your feet
We never used to wonder how this made any sense at all
We've been accused of going native just outside the wall

You're looking down upon us all
I'll cut you with my knife
Turn this around and make you fall
You cannot take my life

I won't let you any of you get the best of me
I will return from beyond the grave as is my destiny
The armies of the world will not bow down before your anarchy
We are the heroes and the killers of monstrosities

You take me by the shoulders
You're lifting me aloft
But I am one too many soldier
I'll rip your face right off

I'm going down to the waterfront in heaven's golden fields

Stab it in the eye
Stave off the cadence of death
Don't break down and cry
Fight off the cadence of death
Stab it in the eye
Drive off the cadence of death
You will never die
It's not your final...

Death
