Torque - Hand Over Fist

In your so-called perfect World, life breeds life,
Hate breed hate, violence breeds violence,
But some things are better left unsaid...
By the same token things are better left undone...

Hand over fist my path is paved, a fine built on nerve has burned in front of me
Immortal, it yearns for, it burns contingency
From any level, at any rule, it all has suffered
An adverse outcome FREE ALL
Carry on with your SLOW CRAWL

Come and join the fray
Come see what you've left behind now
Turn around and see
Focus lost on an empty concept

A comfort known impossibly
The gentle twitch begins the freezing of your veins
It crumbles, it's shattered, it rots internally
You can see, you should see, you will see
the adverse outcome FREE ALL
Carry on with your SLOW CRAWL

Come and join the fray
Come see what you've left behind now
Turn around and see
Focus lost on an empty concept GONE DEAD!

Poisoned, false hope - I am here suffer, mislead - Travesty
Carnage, ripped from - Lives I feed
All over... YOUR SYSTEM'S GONE MAD!
Your words they fall on hollow ears
Your lives my stepping stones of fear
Your hopes a stain I will erase
Unlearned accept this fall from grace!
You can't say that I didn't warn you
Do you think that this is all there is?
This is nothing... All for not!

Hand over fist my stake is claimed
Your dreams scraped from my heals your future pre-ordained
It cowers, it whimpers enslaved eternally
All time bought, my path crossed no love lost
Just existence FREE ALL
Carry on with your SLOW CRAWL

Come and join the fray
Come see what you've left behind now
Turn around and see
Focus lost on an empty concept

GONE DEAD!
