First Reprisal Lyrics

(....thats why I have these chains across my head
And sometimes I’m afraid if I completly disregard someone else’s story
I feel like I have blinders on, which is what I’m supposed to do
I’m supposed to completely disregard one side of the story and the other side of the story....)

This sacrifice
Is such a rite
It doesnt sit in ruin
It doesnt matter
Violence in your Mercy
Violence in your Death
Mercy is the reason to
Take your life

It doesnt matter
It doesnt show
Does it really count
The Will to come
It doesnt really
It never hurts
It doesnt hurt because
Everything already does

Its such a rite

(....prime human sentiment which is compassion
You cannot disaow your brotherhood even with the basest
There‘s a very important I, I think of and speak of by Schopenhauer....)

It doesnt hurt
It doesnt show
It hurts in the corners
The Will to Go
This Corner‘s
Ain't not hurt
Its gonna hurt today
Eternally Tormented

(What is it that makes that possible? Not only possible, but actual...)

It doesnt matter
It doesnt show
It folds its corner
Whereever we go
It comes alone
It doesnt leave the corner
This is the law
It doesnt matter
It doesnt ?
Its getting hurt today ?
In heaven ?

(He says that it comes from a transcendent realization, that you and the other are the same life)

It comes in
It doesnt fight
It doesnt matter
It comes in
With eternal precision now repossessed

(You could say that the heroic person is the one who in some measure has gone past the self preserveration and identified himself with the life, the forice in its positive aspect)

This is considered
It doesnt hurt
When the flame repossess
It won't hurt

(...And I had no Idea who it was
Umm.and so, I crawled back out as fast as I could and went down
And they gave me a charge to blow up the tunnel which is what I had to do after I checked it out
So I went back down, put the explosive on the wall of the tunnel
And before I crawled out, I said DD...)
