Stratagem

"IN THOSE PASSAGE WAYS HE PASSED HIS DAYS

BUT BELIEVED HIS PASSIVE WAYS MUST END

KNOWING HIS TIME LIKE ALL OTHERS WILL RUN OUT

HE TAKES THE ROLE OF THE DESPERATE MAN"

BREATHING SILENCE CONSCIOUS STRIPPED AND BARE

I KNOW THAT WHAT'S INSIDE THEM I ALSO SHARE

FOR WITHIN EVERY COWARD LIES A SLAVE

MY PRISON IS THE DARKNESS THEIRS THE NEED TO BE LED

FOR WITHIN EVERY HOUR LIES A DAY

THIS LAND I KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE MY OWN

ALL THAT REMAINS HIDDEN WILL SOON BE SHOWN

FOR BENEATH EVERY TOWER LIES ITS GRAVE

A ONE MAN ARMY FIGHTS AN IMAGINARY WAR

FAR WITHIN MYSELF ONLY I KNOW WHAT FOR

COME NOW

SEE HOW

DROP DROP DOWN AND LIQUIDFY

I'LL GIVE THE WORLD TO YOU

DROP DROP DOWN AND SANCTIFY

I PROMISE ALL THE TRUTH

I'LL GIVE YOU MORE THAN EYES

I'LL GIVE YOU MORE

I'LL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOUR TWO EYES

THE TRUTH THE TRUTH THE TRUTH

ON THEIR KNEES BLESSING LIGHT

COME WITH ME RULE THE NIGHT

TAKE THE CHANCE RIDE THE BEAST

JOIN THE FAMINE OR THE FEAST

BUT THEY WON'T HEAR THEY JUST STARE

THEY DON'T CARE THEY WOULDN'T DARE

TO LIVE LIVE LIVE BEYOND THEIR WALLS

EACH TOWER IN MY SIGHT

BROKEN

EACH TOWER IN MY WAY

BROKEN

I'LL TURN THESE WORDS TO SWORDS

SPOKEN TONIGHT
