Lyrics

Avalanche

Leave the room don't use the door

We're only on the 13th floor

Your veil is lifting, you've nothing on

Every god has had its day, every caesar should be spade

Your veil is lifting

And we can see right through your suit of tears

You don't own us, can't control us

Avalanche!

Every face a stepping stone, at the top's a throne of bones

Your curtain's twitching, but you can't see past your daily sneer

We don't fear you, now we see you

Avalanche!

Now we got into your shoes, its your turn to be abused

The heat is rising, and you can't hold back this rage with fear

You accused us while you used us

Avalanche!

You accused us while you screwed us

Avalanche!
