Pen Or Sword (feat. Nick Rossi)

A horrid shadow looms above your pounding head
As you hear the voice in the sky say it's time for bed
The darkness truly settles on a withering frame
And tears begin to roll down the emaciated face
Bones like chalk, rattle when you talk
But just be thankful you still have a voice

You were led into the cage but you can break out
So many braver before you, so it's your turn now
In other realms, they've been ready to die for a cause
So if you're ready to opine then sharpen your claws

Somewhere along the way the tables turned
All the progress we made didn't reflect what we deserved
Get that tail out from between your legs
You've got teeth and nails, not the kind who begs

It's pointless to adopt a mephistophelean way
You'll throw away everything and accept an empty fate
Your life isn't over yet, it just looks like that today
So summon your bravery, and reject your place in the grave

Don't be scared, bite the hand, be angry
Pen or Sword, it's your choice, be angry
