The Dread

[Beginning]

[Verse 1]
Watch where you step, child
Your footsteps betray you
Sins of the past child, not yours
But they've chosen to possess you
Everything about you and I
Everything we are need to die
Somebody won't rest until we do...

[Verse 2]
Watching your back, child
Won't do you much good now
Holding your breath, child
Won't silence your fears, so loud
Everything about you and I
Everything we are, doomed to die
'Lest we prepare ourselves to fight

[Chorus]
So take the shot, or pick the lock
No matter what you do, he's hunting for you
Oh sure, you can run, but you can't hide
The clock's ticking, it's a matter of time
Face the fears inside that chill your spine
Embrace the dread or wind up dead, you choose
'Cause I'm not tying up your noose

[Verse 3]
What's with the face, child?
Is this not a thrill to you?
You're not to blame, child
But there's nothing we can do
'Cause everything about you and I
Everything we are fall in line
And just for that, he's deemed us fit to die

[Bridge]
Just take the shot
Well?
Whatcha' waitin' for?
A fight is all we've got
But that's worth fighting for
Face the fears inside that chill your spine
Embrace the dread or wind up dead, you choose
You choose

[Chorus]
So will you take the shot, or pick the lock?
No matter what you do, he's hunting for you
Oh, sure you can run, but you can't hide
The clock's ticking, it's a matter of time
Face the fears inside that chill your spine
Embrace the dread or wind up dead, you choose
'Cause I'm not tying up your noose

[Chorus 2]
Why don't you realize that
Everything about you and I
Everything we are need to fight!
I know we can't rest until we do

[End]
