Lyrics
Take a look away, think about the things you say
The day awaits your soul in chains
You got to make it today or there will be hell to pay
And there is no other way
Look at how you're living now
Life can bring you down
The cradle to the grave
All I give is all I save
Every day's the same; can you still feel the pain?
You lose your mind then go insane
I can't talk to you, you can't tell me what to do
What I need is up to you
Look at how you're living now
Life can bring me down
The cradle to the grave
All I give is all I save
And I wonder how they live
Always taking what they give
Never far, always near, lose your mind
Gripping you with fear...
What's done is done...
Hey, slave, take it to the grave
Walk in someone else's shoes
That's the path you paved
Live, die, take off that disguise
Find your own reflection now in the pool it lies
What's done is done!
Now you know the score, you can't take this hell anymore
You feel like you never did before
Go and find the way, you're closer to it everyday
Yes, this is the price you pay
And I wonder how they live
Always taking what they give
Never far, always near, lose your mind
Gripping you with fear...
When the fist comes down...
The day awaits your soul in chains
You got to make it today or there will be hell to pay
And there is no other way
Look at how you're living now
Life can bring you down
The cradle to the grave
All I give is all I save
Every day's the same; can you still feel the pain?
You lose your mind then go insane
I can't talk to you, you can't tell me what to do
What I need is up to you
Look at how you're living now
Life can bring me down
The cradle to the grave
All I give is all I save
And I wonder how they live
Always taking what they give
Never far, always near, lose your mind
Gripping you with fear...
What's done is done...
Hey, slave, take it to the grave
Walk in someone else's shoes
That's the path you paved
Live, die, take off that disguise
Find your own reflection now in the pool it lies
What's done is done!
Now you know the score, you can't take this hell anymore
You feel like you never did before
Go and find the way, you're closer to it everyday
Yes, this is the price you pay
And I wonder how they live
Always taking what they give
Never far, always near, lose your mind
Gripping you with fear...
When the fist comes down...
