lyrics

the tightrope on which you walk
you know there's a better world on the other side
but it's so hard not to look down
when they scream you can't make it
it's heavy and you need to search your soul
for strength to break chains that bind you
the balance it is not for weaker bones
the fall is too painful
what are you?
protector, predator or prey?

our bodies on which you walk
needed to elevate you
keep us in a great divide
so our full weight can't crash down on you
your greatest mistake was underestimating
if you feel the need to take us down
we won't make it easy
what are you?
protector, predator or prey?
