Handshake With Hell

Lead – Amott Collective consciousness Synapses between us We pierce the sky with fists We shroud the Earth in dust Bow, sit down, take a knee Before powers that be We’re here to spread the flame Welcome to the game And after all is said and done Since the moon eclipsed the sun Can you feel the wrath of truth? Does it burn you like abuse? Lead – Amott Come along to the killing grounds It’s execution day The grip of a thousand hands Squeezes the life from supremacy And after all is said and done When the dark delays the dawn Walk your path towards the reaper Learn that hell is other people! Chorus: Obey As we Decay Buy me a lobotomy Fools never cease to amaze Keep digging your grave A lobotomy Down here for eternity Where fire and ice meet You burnt the world above We rule the world beneath And after all is said and done Before a new day has begun Bid your worries all goodbye Flee the pan, into the fire! Fool me once and I’m numb Twice and I’m dumb Thrice, I won’t be fooled again Fool me once and I’m done Twice I succumb To a handshake with hell In the end, we only reap what we have sown Can’t leave well enough alone The world’s at stake Under an oath that cannot break Lead – Amott Lead - Loomis Chorus: Obey As we Decay Buy me a lobotomy Fools never cease to complain Keep digging your grave A lobotomy
