On “The Caudal Lure”, Karnivool warns of a deceptive trap, complete with complex rhythms and surreal instrumentals.

[Verse 1]
Ask a question
Are the answers loaded like this one?
You better pull yourself along
Time is precious and you must act
This isn't inevitable
I still stand
I won't get back in my cell
I will not let a savior define my freedom
I'm going out alone
No one is gonna save us from this
[Chorus]
We should have known better not to taste this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now we command, we will awake this snake and follow
[Verse 2]
Shatter the hourglass and what do you see?
Memories like grains of sand are blowing away
Is this who you are? A product of fear
The shell of a man who lost his innocence
[Bridge]
Hold your nerve
Keep your focus
There's something peculiar about the way you pay to save your soul
You forfeit your dream
Just let it go
[Chorus]
We should have known better not to taste this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now here we stand, we will embrace it or be defiant
Final moment, taken by these chemicals you can't control
[Bridge]
Ask the question
Ask the question
Ask the question
[Chorus]
We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now we command, we will embrace it or be defiant
Silent moment, induced by these chemicals you can't control
[Outro]
(Where's your God at?)
(Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God at?)
(Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God at?)
(Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God at?)
(Where's your God at? Alone)
