Track 17 of Animus Session: The Dead of Winter.
lyrics
Intro
This world realigns, I can see the sign...
My head is clear now: I can speak my mind...
Now it's me or it...
Which one will die?!
As Two gods cannot share a shrine...
Verse
As I rush through the valley of the Shadow of Death,
I hear myself say a prayer not to run out of breath,
I've always blamed him for my cause of unrest,
Now I've realized part of the fault's on myself,
Why is it we only call out his name,
When we stub a toe and start to feel the pain?
Imagine my shame, it's time I changed this frame,
This movie sucks anyway and I won't see it again!
New beginnings are eternal, Death-the absence of change,
Last time I checked I was alive, so I'll get in this range,
And drive off, key in the ignition and speed away,
Over the bumps of this graves titled 'My Past Mistakes'
The clouds grow dark, Lightning paves my way,
Swerving through the cemetery, hands feel like clay-
But I IGNORE IT! This all ends today,
I break past this graveyard and I'm gonna make some change.
In other words hell to pay as grandpa's song plays,
But no more distractions: I'm outta this place.
Riding and Riding...this won't be too fun,
But no more brakes, I'll face these problems full on.
Hubris? Yep, I've got it.
Insecurities? Yep, I've got it.
A desperate need to succeed? Yeah I've got it.
But guess what? I already fought it.
So that cold hard fact...take it to heart.
And watch these mental chains start to retract!
Last Words
Verse
Have I been purified? No, of course not.
But let me clarify: Pave this road with asphalt!
Man's strongest opponent has always been Self,
I'm just fortunate to have had some help!
Like one who overcomes stage fright,
Or learns to walk away from a staged fight.
Similar destinations but different air flights.
I've not gotten rid of my Devils: just kept them at bay.
An eternal timeout so the Angels can play.
