THE AGONIST LYRICS

1. In Vertigo

A little too big and a little too small
The thing is that life isn't one size fits all
So take a sip and a couple of bites
And lay back to feast with your own eyes

Down down down the rabbit hole!

Wake up to see the tiny world at your feet
A giant surprise, yours alone to meet
There's no way up, so don't wallow in fear
No need to drown in a pool of your own tears

Down down down the rabbit hole!

Down!

(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
With this strange crowd?
When will my feet hit the ground?

(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
In this strange land
When will I find...

Time and time again
We seek the answers
Time and time again
We fail to question
Time and time again
We go down, down, down...

Now let's just skip straight to chapter eight
She's tired of your so-called friendly debate
The riddles and tales you present to appease
Will be of no help when she's down to her knees

Down down down the rabbit hole!

Through trial and error one must learn to accept
But that's not the case, here, we're taught to forget
Don't you think for a second that the rules are dead
What's that my dear? Off with her head!

Down down down the rabbit hole!

Down!

(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
With this strange crowd?
When will my feet hit the ground?

(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
In this strange land
When will I find...

How did we get here to a place where the notes don't sound?
How did we get here to a place that stands alone in a crowd?
Take me back to that field that I've never been
Take me back to that sky that I've never seen
How did we let the sound slip away?
How did we let the sound slip away?

2. As One We Survive

Live
The cold hand of the past emerges
From the graves of our ancestors

Eyes open
To your feet
Another day of sight unseen

Take back the night
And let life release
This slow death will not cease

Just when you thought
That your end was near
Live for one more night
Just when you thought
That your end had come
Live for one more night

Live
Live for one more night

Watch now

The sun set before it rose
The moon never once revealed its face

It's an icy path to a stone walled city

Just when you thought
That your end was near
Live for one more night
Just when you thought
That your end had come
Live for one more night

We suffer as one
As one we survive

3. The Gift of Silence

I've had all I can take
To hate for hate's sake
Tearing down what you cannot create

The time has come to be put to sleep
A gift of silence for a herd of sheep

Nature is red in tooth and claw
Did they tell you you must be
The first without a flaw?

Nature is red in tooth and in claw

Let it rain, rain all over me
Till the water will no longer bleed
Oh, let it rain so you will see
What it's like, what it's like to be free

I stand before dangerous territory
Staring the enemy right in the eye

If only I could cross the line
Seize control, don't let the currents divide

The pattern is equal
For those who play the game
The pattern is flawless
Don't you dare deny the blame

Let it rain, rain all over me
Till the water will no longer bleed
Oh, let it rain so you will see
What it's like, what it's like to be free

Let it rain, pour it all over me
I will shed my scales into the sea
Let it rain, pour it all over me
I will sit there and let you repeat
Till your words will no longer bleed

Let it rain, rain all over me
Till the water will no longer bleed
Oh, let it rain so you will see
What it's like, what it's like to be free

4. Blood as My Guide

I've been kicked around and dragged through the mud
No tales of my glory will ever be sung
The fear we all feel is more than just real
It's a blinding emotion we must forge into steel

My brothers and sisters we're the true underdogs
What good is this land if one day it's all gone?
Together we trudge on this blood drenched soil
And together we face - we face this mortal coil

We will survive
At the end of the tunnel there's always a light
We will survive
If we stay strong we can win any fight

Win any fight

They prey on the sheep for the sheep are weak
And the watchdogs protect us from restless sleep
But the wolves and the dogs are few
And we are many
Survival's an instinct we forget we carry
So let us awake to the truth

We will survive
At the end of the tunnel there's always a light
We will survive
If we stay strong we can win any fight

Με οδηγό το αίμα
Ανοίξατε - ανοίξατε τις πύλες
Για να μπουν οι ψυχές στον κάτω
Στον κάτω τον κόσμο
Οι ψυχές μας....
Σήμερα κλαίνε οι ουρανοί
Σήμερα το αίμα - το αίμα πέφτει σαν βροχή
Σαν σήμερα γεννηθήκαμε
Και απόψε θα πεθάνουμε

5. Mr. Cold

Tonight, I met a grinning man in a dark suit
A glowing reflection, to my surprise
Were vibrant orbs in place of eyes
His mouth never twitched as he spoke to me
Meaning no harm, he was passing by
In hollow times we'd meet...

If you ever meet the man named cold
You will feel the chill straight to your bones
If you ever stare into the eyes of the mothman
You will feel their fright

It's as if he knew
One day they'd wake and draw pictures of his face
It's as if he knew

One day they'd drive up and down this place
In hopes of looking into his mind

We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we bleed
We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we bleed
We bleed even as you do... we bleed

We will see you again... in time

The fascination passed so we dug the grave
And along we buried all the strange
The weirdly eloquent answers to life's mysteries

We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we bleed

Today is the day the questions stopped
Even the ghosts are too, they're too scared to talk
Today is the day I thought would never come
How strange it feels now that the weird is all gone

6. Dust to Dust

I had to go blind to truly see
What was right in front of me
I'm a fool for thinking there was a shot
The game was rigged right from the start
Still I need to play, to go along

See karma's a bitch
But she's not your dog
When you least expect
She'll turn around...

When you look the other way
She's bound to bite

All it takes is a second
To fall in a trap
Absent choice
I'm on a one-way path

Racing to the break
I will leave nothing behind

Take your needles
Stick them in your arms
Pull my limbs
Till you tear them apart
Break my bones
Hell, crush my skull
You'll never take my soul

Take my life but
You'll never take my soul

Woke up to flies buzzing around
To the warm touch of your blood
And a body...?
Your body indeed

The disease is spreading, tick tock
Is there still enough time to play god?

Racing to the break
I will leave nothing behind
Ashes cross my path
I ignite I ignite

Take your needles
Stick them in your arms
Pull my limbs
Till you tear them apart
Break my bones

Hell, crush my skull
You'll never take my soul
Take my life but
You'll never take my soul

7. A Devil Made Me Do It

Catch me if you can
I am faster than your mind can fathom
Armed with the element of surprise
I slither through the corners of your eyes

Pull me inside your wildest dreams
I will follow - I will follow
In the wreckage of what I perceive
I will follow - I will follow

I'll take your unwillingness
And make you crumble
I'll take your hesitance
And watch you burn

Dancing blindly through all the madness
What if I, if I take a little peek?

Come out - come out wherever you are
Trust me you'll enjoy it
There's nothing quite like the sweet taste of impulsion
Let your inhibition take a back seat
Just enjoy the ride

Come out - come out wherever you are
Pull me inside your wildest dreams
I will follow - I will follow
In the wreckage of what I perceive
I will follow - I will follow

I'll take your unwillingness
And make you crumble
I'll take your hesitance
And watch you burn

8. The Killing I

You know I need to make good time
So open wide
The main course is a piece of mind
I can't shake this nerve of mine

You know I got the evil eye
To satisfy my dark desires
I'm handcuffed to your filthy grind

Paralyzed
I'm always fighting with a
Pair of eyes
So put em up, come and get it

I'm on the loose
Bloody knife in my hand
On the loose
And I'm coming for you

Sink your teeth in the pain
So you can feel its bite
All you need to consume
To fill the hole inside

All this time you're wasting to change my ways
You better run, cause I'm livid

Hold a mirror to your face
And take a look before it's gone
I'm sick of all your preaching
It's time to bite your tongue

I'm on the loose
Bloody knife in my hand
On the loose
And I'm coming for you

Sink your teeth in the pain
So you can feel its bite
All you need to consume
To fill the hole inside

Sink your teeth in the prize
So you can get a taste
All you need to consume
To make your heart race

Sink your teeth in the pain
So you can feel its bite
All you need to consume
To fill the hole inside

Sink your teeth in the pain to feel the bite
Feel the bite feel the bite

9. Orphans

Knock, knock is someone at the door?

There's no fairytale to read here
No damsels in distress
Just two sisters that were caught in a mess
There's no wicked stepmother or fairy godmother
No unpleasant day waiting to be saved

Knock, knock is someone at the door?

Hush little girl, we can wait a little more
The demons you fear crawling in the night
I wouldn't let you anywhere near their sight

Hush little girl, don't say a word
Sister's gonna get you a mockingbird
Hush little girl, don't say a word
Sister's gonna - gonna take care of you

Knock, knock is someone at the door?

I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking on my door

Hush now little girl, for there's nothing left to fear
Open your eyes, you will see things crystal clear
There's no magical bean that'll send you towards the skies
Just a rusty skeleton ladder you will have to climb
Trust me little sister, you are stronger than you realize
So go on it is time
Time for you to open your eyes

As we go through our lives pretending
There's no difference in what we decide
As we go through our lives pretending
There's no difference in wrong or right

Knock, knock is someone at the door?

I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking on my door, not anymore
No one, no one will come knocking, not anymore
No one will come knocking on my door

10. Burn It All Down

I made sure, my dear

I made sure of it, my dear
Made sure of the life we'd be living here
While you thought I was vulnerable and weak
I made sure they'd never again speak!

A drop was all it took, a drop ever so sweet
And down they fell, their fate to meet
You see, my dear, you were always my favorite
So I made sure, I made sure they would savor it
For no matter what crimes were revealed
Every man deserves a final meal

Burn it, burn it all down
So at last we will see the sky
Burn it, burn it to the ground
So at last you will know
You will know why

I will keep you safe!
I will show you the way!

They treated me like the scum of the earth
While dear old mother questioned why she gave birth
You see, I really wasn't given a choice
I had to give my thoughts a literal voice

Come out to meet me by the tree
I'll give your eyes so much more to see

Burn it... burn it all down

Burn it, burn it all down
So at last we will see the sky
Burn it, burn it to the ground
So at last you will know
You will know why
