about

This track is about the idea of the Machiavellian power struggle, about people who will step over anyone if it means they get what they want.

lyrics

See me on the road,
The sound of my feet and of my back under the load
Heavily strung and I’m going it alone
Despite when my peers say you should be staying at home,
But I’m doing well though
‘cause they call me crazy
Put all of your reasons aside I will leave it as maybe
Come on I got nothing to hide but I’ve been hiding lately
I’m providing the flesh to the skeletons
Now I am running, this image is hazy and


Suddenly it hits, they’re gonna find you and they’ll tear you to bits, this
This motive for keeping control and a hold of your wits
I’m dreading the moment when the pavement it sticks
With the blood of your followers


Now I’m in control, I am an actor and I’m central to the role
I made a deal with the devil before I knew what was sold
The wrapping was cheap and it came from the mold that
They fashioned for hundreds of others and so
My anger is a sword, the striking side was blunt but facing me, sharp as the forge
We gotta maintain what we’re working towards
You do as your leader will tell you and fall on your sword
‘Cause I am top of the modern world but



Suddenly it hits, they’re gonna find you and they’ll tear you to bits, this
This motive for keeping control and a hold of your wits
I’m dreading the moment when the pavement it sticks
With the blood of your followers


Let’s look back and laugh, (but not too much)
I will be your last (inhuman touch)
I’m larger than life itself (or so I’m told)
Let’s preserve the evidence (we’re getting old)
