Beneath the Smiles - Twelve Foot Ninja

The scars

Beneath their smiles

Run length to length

A million miles

The wisdom

Of a broken child

Who feels at home

Amidst the fire

Master knows

And he knows best

The universe

Within his chest

The ascendant rise

The cowards fall

Learn nothing

When you know it all

Are we men

Or are we mice?

For certain death

Awaits outside

We must beat

This system now

There’s too many

To take them down

The only way

We’ll make it out

Is to shed ourselves

Of shame and doubt

The only way

We’ll make it out

Is if we make or break

Without a sound

Seize their prize

Storm the gates

For all we know

They sleep awake

They’re marching

To the drums like sheep

Take a bow

And grit your teeth

The shrouded moon

It’s a sign

We have to move now

It is time

Are we men

Or are we mice?

For certain death

Awaits outside

We must beat

This system now

There’s too many

To take them down

The only way

We’ll make it out

Is to shed ourselves

Of shame and doubt

The only way

We’ll make it out

Is if we make or break

Without a sound

Seize their prize

Storm the gates

For all we know

They sleep awake

We will overcome

Atonement awaits

Unseen to the eyes
