Setting Teeth - Hollow Earth

Rush of blood coursing my veins

Without warning sentenced to die

Heavy heart, shortness of breath;

Temple of aegis now becomes our tomb

Suddenly nothing is safe

Trepidation dulling my senses

Paralyzed in suspension of disbelief;

Drawn and quartered, disarmed to the teeth

Face to face with death

Overwhelmed by panic and fear

In suspension of disbelief;

Drawn and quartered, disarmed to the teeth

Nothing to salvage save for our lives

Fractions of seconds, abandon or sacrifice

Rush of blood coursing my veins

Hope is forsaken, we must escape

Heavy heart, shortness of breath

Save ourselves or be left for dead

Foreordained, time is up

Self preservation, I beg of you

In the clutches of dire straits

Lay down your sword or be laid to rest

With apprehension I must retreat

And force myself

To overcome my greatest fear

Teeth clenched in terror

I feel it crawling up my skin

I feel it rising

I feel it closing in

And with my final gasp for air

Cold liquid spills

Over my lips and down my throat

My lungs writhe in fear

Rush of blood

Flashes of horror fading away

Temple of aegis now a blaze of light

Darkness wash over me

Resonant frequency

Blackout
