lyrics

Fear not the dog who paces behind the wall snarling at your every movement
You fear the wolf who silently waits for you in the cold that you don't know
They came for your assets, parlor tricks hiding their wealth
Lemme see them hands little man, lemme see them!
You're hiding something else
And when you come for me
You'd better bring all your friends and some heavy sedatives
Because I'm gonna make a scene

Overlord versus the psychonaut
This is still the battle that our parents lost
Let your hate cultivate your resolve
Come inside and cover your eyes and open your mouth

We came here to party, HEY!
But you started without us, HEY!

I'm sure you told us nothing but truth
Handsome commander under the oath
Serve and protect me, down with the ship
Send me a postcard, I'm sure it's better than this

You're loaded like a gun, with no one to unload upon
As if in a dream, you can't gather the strength to pull the hands from your neck

I'm no pawn, I'm the rook upside down
I survived and crossed to your side, now panic ensues
For you

Fear not the dog
Fear the wolf
