• JR:
    As I walk through the crowds
    and I step into the ampitheatre,
    I hear the sounds:
    The lions roar, triumphant
    the gladiators beat their chests
    Armor chinks: Leather on Metal

    AB:
    Metal
    Ear splitting riffs pound upon
    throat ripping lyrics that raise the dead
    And skin streched across polyrhythmic lyrics
    that causes our stomachs to drop

    Both:
    But we always come out on top

    JR:
    Stop
    in the name of love, for hammertime
    stop on the tracks, stop on a dime
    stop all the malice, stop on the tears
    stop all the kids running, stop all your fears
    You cant stop the music
    Both:
    you cant stop the beat
    JR:
    So stop all the begging
    dont kneel at my feet

    Both:
    The blistered feet of the unborn

    AB:
    Who never begin
    Their thoughts racing
    and blinding speed possessing
    the higher planes of conciousness
    that arent high enough
    Why? Because conciousness just doesnt cut it
    It cant ever convey or accurately portray
    the impending yesterdays
    Both:
    So we move to a deeper vein
    AB:
    that of the subconcious
    propelled mutually between eternal minds
    Not like words, too many stains
    And it's just not the same
    and we finally start to move forward
    Toward the bony protrusion
    pushing through the skin

    JR:
    Skin
    Like a needle pushing straight, deep within
    To erase your sin and begin
    New men, New villains
    We hit the weak point
    and cut the loose joint
    We hide inside the place they all died
    Did we sever or survive?
    My epidermis shows scars
    and the fault is all ours
    But you will take the blame
    take the name
    that's the game

    AB:
    You just lost the game

    Both:
    And we are all that everyone loses

    AB:
    Guess it's back to square one
    Guess I souldnt drop the gun
    JR:
    Bullets whistle past but we stand fast!
    AB:
    All your serfs
    JR:
    your lords
    AB:
    Your pimps
    JR:
    Your whores
    AB:
    They all listen closely
    with bated breath
    Because this story ends where it began
    The aforementioned will never understand

    Both:
    As we walk through the crowds
    Through the roars of the lions
    JR:
    We beat our chests
    AB:
    And pass our tests
    Both:
    As if we ever needed to
