take control what you cast to defend
with this life
bless the souls of wanderers to repent
with the greed to win

the wheels have started turning
raging fire and scorching everything
the metal cold and heavy in your hand
is what you need

the face looking back at you in the mirror
could be your enemy

the more we try to hold on
the chances through our fingers seep
every moment closer
falling down to obscurity

in the dark of the essence
to challenge your existence
and claim the survival that severs the shade
light your honor to reap

the voice calling back at you in the distance
could save the creed

your back against the wall
there's no place left to set you free
every moment closer
counting down to integrity

in the sand blood is risen
to cherish the forgotten
and walk on the water that bites at your feet
soak your sorrow to keep

who's side will you be on when it ends
take control what you cast to defend
