From the recording The Hills Will Burn
Featuring Igor Sokolov on vocals
Lyrics
If you wanna be the one to wear the crown
Then you better, have what it takes, don’t back down
When all of the eyes are on you, better
Step the fuck up to the plate, and see this through
Without any rhyme or reason,
Every word from your mouth,
Is treason
Your only allegiance is to those who follow you blindly
Never questioning you
And all this power
Will take its toll on you
Never given the chance to breathe
Let the waters consume
You show no mercy
With the hour hand at noon
And the hammer, you now clench
Strikes down the nail to seal the tomb
You say you never wanted anyone, to die
(Tell me what have I done to deserve this)
A little self sufficiency,
As you try to conceal your hypocrisy
With your blood stained hands,
You look down and you try to convince me the fault is mine
But never once have you made an attempt to relate
And the hate it burns inside
Never
Had to
Make this
Choice before
Lives are on the table now
Decisions made here
Could lead to war
How many deaths, Will you allow
Perhaps if you could bleed,
You’d see
That pain can shape your memories
The sour taste, forever on our tongues
Now the fire helps to sow the seed
And all this power
Will take its toll on you
Never given the chance to breathe
Let the waters consume
You show no mercy
With the hour hand at noon
And the hammer, you now clench
Strikes down the nail to seal the tomb
You say you never wanted anyone, to die
(Tell me what have I done to deserve this)
A little self sufficiency,
As you try to conceal your hypocrisy
With your blood stained hands,
You look down and you try to convince me the fault is mine
But never once have you made an attempt to relate
And the hate it burns inside
