[Verse 1]
Cycle of life and death supposedly
Goes ‘round and ‘round yet it stops with me
Glorious hunters of my faith, I have sinned

Reflection beckons a portal shard
Spiritual quest I must stay on guard
Stepping sideways between worlds I shift
Killers are quiet when they're born with the gift

Beautiful anguish cast out by my race
Now one that's ageless I save my own face
I write my own laws with death, I break bread
Killers are quiet when they come from my head!
[Outro]
Run! Run! Run! Run!
Run! Run! Run! Run!
[Instrumental Outro 7:07 - 10:03]
