From the recording A Potentially Lethal Game of Chance
Lyrics
I tore the shroud today and saw the light
My eyes were nearly blinded by it
As I looked beyond the haze, as I escaped the maze
That kept my body lost inside it
Today is mine to make
A lifetime in a day
After all that I have done and seen
I will not wait for the guillotine
Dormant like a river dammed - I’m stronger than the walls that hold me
The torment of this raging mind flows as I escape to sea
The river rushing in my soul
A current beyond your control
My power overwhelms me
My power overwhelms me
Today is mine to make
A lifetime in a day
After all that I have done and seen
I will not wait
Your time is over now
My time has just begun
As night draws to an end
Truth rises with the sun
Lies lost in the mist
Destroyed by passing time
Chains broken, left to rust
The past becoming dust
Look forward to the sea
That flows in front of me
My power overwhelms me
Hedging bets and wasting time
Sand in this hourglass is slowly slipping by
Meet your maker on the line
Never follow anybody else's rules but mine
