The desire to remain in the violence
The deciders of your fate
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
The desire in your veins for the violence
The diamond in your brain
The desire to partake in the violence
We're the sirens to your raid
[Outro]
The desire to remain
Remain
Remain
The writer of your fate
