Crossing The Rubicon - The Human Abstract

Of all the times I’ve been disrespected

You’d think it’d be no surprise

Learning lessons, all the precious treasures

Take all that you’ve got

I’ll take your ready hand with a ready blade

I’m dead-set to make you lie in the bed you’ve made

Paid in full, Take it from your pride

I don’t know just what you thought

But you’ve gone past the line

And you’ve got me wrong

The time has come, your song has long been sung

Brought down, brought down;

you won’t have long to go

I’m not cutting a loss again, you won’t have long to go

An hourglass of sand

And I’ll be on time, inform the rest

So run as fast as you can

Hell’s coming for you

Try to strike and then slip away

But I won’t let you leave without feeling an equal pain

You’ll see, because I’ll make you see

Left in my council you’ll know what it means to respect me

Once I’ve caught you alone, teach you all you need to know

Pray, once I’ve caught you alone

Teach you all you need to know

The time has come, your song has long been sung

Brought down, brought down;

you won’t have long to go

I’m not cutting a loss again, you won’t have long to go

I wish I held desire solely to right this wrong

Take careful tones urging the dawn to come

Make every word worth what it takes in turn

I can’t go on, with my faith interrupted

I can’t go on, with my faith interrupted

How can I look the other way?

My faith interrupted

You’ve shown me there is no other way

Out

Other way out
