Threat By Example -

Blood is passed from the soul to the machine

Redirected giving life once again

New life giving flame

To a vessel of fear

From the shadows to the chamber of one

Constant reminders of the work to be done

Spellbound by the light

But the winter is near

No control cause the world keeps going

Before the pulpit of a passive preacher

Clearly defined is the student and teacher

Woven into the form

Are the thorns of routine

Ceremony of the struggle and praise

Abrasive truths bleaching dirt from the days

Blatant power unrelenting

All too much to believe

Threat by example

Threat by example

Too much to handle

Threat by example

Respect and power

In the darkest of hours

Too much to handle

Threat by example

Shock waves are leaving scars under the skin

The simple ethics too intense to take in

Control or contempt

Or control and comply

The second coming in a citizen form

Incubated in the eye of the storm

Overdrive, clarified in the blink of an eye
