ENEMY

Tension Tensions awaken Leave your ways and count your days The earth has been shaken Dissension Positions are taken Grind your axe and raise your flags We are forsaken I watch the figures in the clouds To love you is to see me dying But how can I trust someone I do not understand And how can I reach for the tips of a burning hand Suspicion between us Is what will defeat us The beast in the flesh is the fear of the underhand Attention We are the same kin They will lie and they will grin Corruption must not win Sanctions These are the rulings Drop your pikes and drop to your knees Face what's ensuing They will lie They will grin They will lie They will grin They will sin How can I trust someone I do not understand And how can I reach for the tips of a burning hand Suspicion between us Is what will defeat us The beast in the flesh is the fear of the underhand I've never felt so alone in my skin I didn't know I had this monster hiding Here we stand beneath the ether Bound to our sole desire Sink our teeth into each other And drop our souls into the fire How can I trust someone I do not understand And how can I reach for the tips of a burning hand Suspicion between us Is what will defeat us The beast in the flesh is the fear of the underhand Our ashes remember the arguments The monster will scour the earth for innocence
