Resignation

Dazed and confused like a drunken sailor
Too familiar of my whereabouts
Something about this place just don't feel right
I'm gonna kill 'em all in self-defense tonight

Sirens in the distance, choppers in the air
Panic rising in the mist of the flares
Church bells peeling, they mark the beginning
Of the end of my existance in this town

Blocks on the railway, nay seals along the river
All it takes to keep me trapped inside this town
But a rover, I am, this is not my first time
So, I'll be taking on the Appian way

Seconds away from the ray of a shining
Flashlight blinding my eyes
I realise my welcome in this town is overdue
As time is running out, I better run

...

Laid to rest below the clear blue sky
A heavy fog so thick and densé
Closer to the many miles ahead
Too soon to leave, too late to stop

...

Still not sure where the hell I am
Even less where I'm going from here
My dark and broken soul is blinding my pale eyes of which
Life is nothing of the kind hidden behind

One step further, that's two steps closer
Though I'm not really sure where I am
At the state limit line, I cross my fingers to find
A designated driver at the gate

Hihghway patrolmen rolling up anf down the freeway
In the aftermath of my goodbye
I take a detour to the mountains I'm assuming is out there
All resting peacefully in the middle of nowhere

I've come this far, it'd be a shame to give it up
This is the life of a man on the lamb
I feel no remorse as I dive into the night
This is as far as kindness goes

...

Rugged hills and dusty roads ahead
(Roads ahead)
Withered weeds, big open fields
(Open fields)
Desert and wilderness is yet to come
(Yet to come)
Time will show who's got the upper hand

...

Trapped in a forrest
(Look at him howling at the moon)
Like a wolf is howling at the moon
Running from eagles hunting
Up above
Weaving like a worm
Through grass

Blood preassure's rising
Like a leaf he's trembling
Weak, but still reluctant to give in
Pales eyes blinded
By a broken soul
Wildlife existence takes it's toll

Once again
My survival is put to a test
It's a challenge I have to accept
Wildlife is all I got left

(Solo)
(Interlude)

Hard times left behind
Bad times coming up
Astrayed into this jungle we are
Being chased around by an orangutan
I put my life in the paws of a frightened pangolin
His odds are low, I know
But, mine are slim

Bongos and rhinos
Crickets and crocodiles
Bullsharks covering what appears to be the Nile
I'm not in the mood to be
Taken down, passed around
As I still have no second thoughts
I'm gonna leave this town

Vastly, as fast and far away as we can get
We'll run like more than hell
From the tigers we just met
Tangled up in what turns out to be a dance of death
Our odds are sinking lower as we'll place another test

Damn it, I won't have it
I can't take this anymore
I've been in crazy places like this jungle once before
So, I'll rise to the occacion as I'll place another test
Aiming for the next stop in the desert out ahead

Condemned, but stil I'd shoot if I had a gun
He's the evil twin of Kim Il Sung
(Kim Il Sung)
Jam packed lanes of chaos all the way
(All the way)
I'm on the bend, he's in dismay

(Solo)
(Interlude)

Worn down to nothing
But bones wrapped in skin
It must be a heatstroke
What I see can't be real

A creek full of water
So close, I can reach
Hard as I try
To grab it, I fail

Coyotes and cougars
Fennec foxes and bobcats
They're all ready to take me
If I dare fall asleep

I'm tied to the ground now
Wrapped up in ropes
But, still I refuse
To call it a day

(Interlude)
(Solo)
(Interlude)

A self-proclaimed Messiah
Was grabbing my arm
Pushing a needle
Into my vein

I'm falling asleep now
(Goodnight)
