Scars from all my lessons learned Theft of my possessions earned Cautionary tale of woe You reap what you sew
Fallen in the land I call home I look into a future unknown Lost is the race we've become There's nowhere left to run
From massive repression And passive aggression
The world spins on Mother earth has cried Our hope is gone The innocence has died
You'll stand, you'll fall Only the strong survive Convicted prisoner Sentenced to this life
Winter of my discontent Broken promise never meant Once was blind but now I see I've got to be free
Hounds, they won't leave me alone Gnaw my spirit of flesh to the bone Howling away as they go And the blood starts to flow
No pacification From this indignation
The world spins on Mother earth has cried Our hope is gone The innocence has died
You'll stand, you'll fall Only the strong survive Convicted prisoner Sentenced to this life
Consolation is bitter Pill to swallow Pearls of wisdom fall With nothing left to lose You've got to listen to The voices deep inside you Your path is written by The methods that you choose
[Solo: Skolnick]
The world spins on Mother earth has cried Our hope is gone The innocence has died
You'll stand, you'll fall Only the strong survive Convicted prisoner Sentenced to this life
Massive repression [SPOKEN:] The world spins on
Passive aggression [SPOKEN:] When Mother Earth Has cried
No pacification [SPOKEN:] All hope is gone
From this indignation [SPOKEN:] The innocence has died
