The Agonist
Album • 2016
I would fight for you, I would cross all seas and borders Steal the fright from you, like a mother for her daughter All the crimes between what is done and left to be seen A little blind spot in the rear of the conscience remaining in me I would fight for you, bring it down and build it again Release the hold from you, the connection that can never mend In this secluded world all ideas and theories are played The reality closing in on me I would take on the fight As a sailor who cuts through the sea Tastes the salt stuck deep into his skin I would win the fight Like a beast thrown into the ring Tastes the blood right off his lips The umbilical cord wrapped around your neck So tight – you're scared to inhale Scissors in one hand, pillow in the other What will you choose? What will you choose? Now you've made your bed and took a stance But the guilt it burns as you lay your head to rest I could have fought for you, I could have won for you Take a second to think about that In this secluded world all ideas and theories are played I would take on the fight As a sailor who cuts through the sea Tastes the salt stuck deep into his skin I would win the fight Like a beast thrown into the ring Tastes the blood right off his lips I would take on the fight As a sailor who cuts through the sea Tastes the salt stuck deep into his skin I would win the fight Like a beast thrown into the ring Tastes the blood right off his lips I would win the fight Take hold of what is rightfully mine Tastes the fruits of my victory If only I was fighting for – fighting for What is truly, rightfully mine

The rush, the thrill, the back and forth We set ourselves on the torturous ground Who is the sadist? Who is the masochist? Trembling revelations shed light on the tragedy Dancing in our masquerade Shuffle the deck and place your bets Seal the deal with your invincible hand Let's play the, let's play the blaming game Let's play the game, the blaming game Right or wrong? Tonight's the night we lay our cards Dine in unpleasantries, sacrifice the bond Emotions no longer clouding senses Throw it in the gutter - feel the storm flush it down A diamond in the rough is just an ordinary stone in disguise Tell me what did you expect a perfect creation? Shuffle the deck and place your bets Seal the deal with your invincible hand Let's play the, let's play the blaming game Let's play the game, the blaming game Right or wrong?.

I am the Fifth, I am the prize I am the book, I am your eyes I am the Fifth number in line Symbol of greatness, true to its kind I am the star where lines intersect I am the missing link I am the wound that will never heal Punctured by nails, the final ordeal I am the last one that you'd expect Sense me, feel me, touch me and see Take your time and listen Listen to the ocean Take your time and listen Just listen to the ocean I am a word, double the score Place me in front, alter your luck I am the land, yet to explore Visibly rough to the naked eye I am the star where lines intersect I am the missing link I am the last one that you'd expect Sense me, feel me, touch me and see Take your time and listen Listen to the ocean Take your time and listen Just listen to the ocean Close your eyes and listen You are the wound The wound that will never heal You are the hammer, you are the nail You are the sun The son and mother revealed Open up your eyes – now you are alive! I am the last one that you'd expect Sense me, feel me, touch me and see Take your time and listen Listen to the ocean Take your time and listen Just listen to the ocean

Enter the city that never rests From the fear of waking in the lion's den Let the joyous hunt begin Place your blindfold to the task Victim by day, culprit by night The enemy hide right beneath your mask Empty the barrel on the glass Cause the gun cuts both ways - cuts both ways! As you're drawn to the spiral The clock will count your days - count your days! The infection is contagious Acceptable crimes, punishable acts Bang-bang - kill them all! You're the critical being, rotten to the core Flesh stung by a wasp And the stinger falls to the ground Empty the barrel on the glass Cause the gun cuts both ways - cuts both ways! As you're drawn to the spiral The clock will count your days - count your days! I'm a monster in their eyes But they fail to see They created... me They created... me Empty the barrel on the glass Cause the gun cuts both ways - cuts both ways! As you're drawn to the spiral The clock will count your days - count your days! Count your days!

Pour that man another The things he's seen, the things he's done His hat and cloak, the antidote If the man wants to clear his debts Who are we to subdue his struggle? He might let you bleed if you're nice Salvation always has a price Relax It will all be over soon My face the last thing you will see Relax The pain will go away As I carry your body off Into the arms of an old friend They looks at him a s the savior His raven eyes watch through dome of glass His heart races and his palms they, they sweat As he etches another in his book He might let you bleed if you're nice Salvation always has a price Relax It will all be over soon My face the last thing you will see Relax The pain will go away As I carry your body off Into the arms of an old friend A familiar friend returns To take back what was borrowed A familiar friend returns I will greet him with a smile A familiar friend returns To take back what was borrowed A familiar friend returns I will greet him with a smile A familiar friend returns To take back what was borrowed A familiar friend returns I will greet him with a...

This track is instrumental.
My body lay frozen in the finest attire Even with eyes shut I can hear the looks on their faces Every mourning mash[?] worn with insecurity These things always bring a few They come to pay respect to their own shattered dream Sorry to disappoint but today is not that day Your crocodile tears will have to wait it seems Close your eyes, just a moment Listen to the frame dissolve into horizon Pick a side, choose your color Wave your flag ... away from the fences At last you can hear the sound of your heart beating For just a moment Don't you dare, ring that bell I will claw through the dirt To all that came, my apologies This book still has pages left unwritten A story familiar to those bitten I will claw through the dirt To all that came, my apologies This book still has pages left unwritten Take these coins off my eyes I'm not ready to be put down If only you could hear the screaming in my mind Take these coins off my eyes The action breaks the rules We create, we decide Security's your box Art is our line These coins aren't sewn to my eyes Take these coins off our eyes Forget all you thought you knew You won't put us down Scratch our names off your list You'll never put us down! Put us down!.
I killed them all, of course I killed them all, of course For all you know there could have been many more Caught in the crosshairs of Galveston You had me dead to rights Come on! I even put the goddamn gun in your hands That's the difference between you and I I never, never miss First the arms, then the legs. Finally the head Dismember the story so it may never be read I'm no villain! I am just like you We're in the business of self-preservation I'm no villain! I am just like you We're in the business of self-preservation You missed me in Manhattan Was it quick? Was it quick? I'll never tell Was it quick? Was it quick? Label me, however you like I am no villain, I am just like you First the arms, then the legs. Finally the head Dismember the story so it may never be read I'm no villain! I am just like you We're in the business of self-preservation I'm no villain! I am just like you We're in the business of self-preservation The Jig is up and The Jinx is real The only grave worth lying in Is the one you dig yourself It seems I've won again You still never caught me I caught myself I'm no villain! I am just like you We're in the business of self-preservation I'm no villain! I am just like you We're in the business of self-preservation I am no villain, I am just like you I am no villain, I am just like you

Trapped inside the impression that we are significant Our self-indulgence spreads like the chaos of ants What Earth is to the universe, man is to Earth It's as simple as that What is it that places us on top of the food chain? What is in our bodies that deems us as kings? I never understood the errors of mankind Yet I played the failure myself Cause it flows in out bloodstream See the root of our being The reason we believe we will always succeed "Money can't by happiness", they say Oh yes, it can Who wouldn't want it anyway Crippling society Cause first you crawl, then you walk Take one step at a time What a twist An unfortunate series of event coming your way False accusations derive form mistakes Mistakes you -oh so humanly- made As timelines progress, values reverse Your crime is applauded Is it not allowed to be uneducated? It it morally and politically incorrect? The art of illusion mastered by all Who can tell a truth from a lie? "Money can't by happiness", they say Oh yes, it can Who wouldn't want it anyway Crippling society Cause first you crawl, then you walk Take one step at a time Cause it flows in out bloodstream See the root of our being The reason we believe we will always succeed "Money can't by happiness", they say Oh yes, it can Who wouldn't want it anyway Crippling society Cause first you crawl, then you walk Take one step at a time.

Here lies the man who fell to Earth Who fell to Earth... A spare beaten spirit soul of sexual dystopia Whose sound is deathly frantic - deathly frantic Deathly frantic! His presence clear elegant and emphatic And emphatic! Desperate to break with his past He lets his mask hang The alien to emerge form his tomb In a voice more malevolent He sketched an execution ritual There is no light at the end of a tale The confession of a restless soul Resurrection is a hard act to follow Resurrection is a hard act to... follow.

He called me to pay my debts The crack in his voice was a sign of regret A deal he proposed of mutual benefit But the knot in my gut told me to stand back How could you presume the remedy for the unknown? Liquefied asphyxiation Desperate times call for desperate measures Take the drugs to numb the senses Sweet euphoria... When the last drop has fallen Inject the deadliest poison Falling away from insanity Sweet euphoria... How could the dawn wait a moment? The nights are the shortest The court has been summoned Bring in the accused "I plead the fifth", he yelled When asked to take the stand Your are certified fraud, one of the best But it's not your life on trial It's the chance to make amends Pour that man another Cause he might let you bleed If you're nice Salvation always a price Take the drugs to numb the senses Sweet euphoria... When the last drop has fallen Inject the deadliest poison Falling away from insanity Sweet euphoria... How could the dawn wait a moment? The nights are the shortest.
