[Verse 1]
Devil hill horizon, sounding so alarming
Falling down flat on my face
Well, I've been to the clouded edge
What really makes you think tomorrow's such a thing?
Today is the day that you breathe
Well, I've been to the clouded edge
[Chorus]
Time is a venom of the beast

But now catching up by fire
But I'm rising

Time is a venom of the beast
Hollow and endlessly knocking down our mind
Slowly, but surely defeat what could have been
But now catching up by fire

No matter where you are, don't let it get too far
The help is around the corner
And I've been to the clouded edge
[Chorus]
Time is a venom of the beast
Hollow and endlessly knocking down our mind
Slowly, but surely defeat what could have been
But now catching up by fire
But I'm rising
Better be fueled than tamed
