Face Of Danger

By the skin of my teeth, by the sweat of my brow

I made it through, but you don't know how

When it's a matter of life or death

I'll drag it out so don't hold your breath

Put me in danger and I feel no fear

Take something from me and I'll shed no tears

I'm self-contained and I want what I need

You have to work hard just to see me bleed

Oh, laughing in the face of danger

Oh, in this passion of a stranger

Oh, laughing in the face of danger

Oh, in this passion of a stranger

Yeah, I don't need your love

Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood

Sliding down on a slippery slope

Inside see that there are no ropes

I have to confess that I feel no shame

I'm gonna have fun playing out this game

It's true that the dead men tell no tales

I'll be the judge when you tip the scales

Where's the intelligence that comes with age

I don't need religion or a self-help sage

Oh, laughing in the face of danger

Oh, in this passion of a stranger

Oh, laughing in the face of danger

Oh, in this passion of a stranger

Yeah, I don't need your love

Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood

My path is to race against the anger

In the past when I’ve laughed in the face of danger

I’ve been asked to embrace a stranger

As I leave into the grass of my sexed-up neighbors

A rash as I race from nations

As I walk a straight path in a wasted nation

See me defend in at worst of places

In an effort to suppress & to test my patience, but

I make immovable objects

Hoping to get them moving in an immovable context

They confess like a thief in the night

For a foundation when they’re deep as behind the dog cat fights

You’re always trying to sabotage

Dressed in camouflage

Double down the laws trying to burn like a camouflage

Fill a prescription like a doctor

No one led by this fool that thinks we shall prosper

Oh, laughing in the face of danger

Oh, in this passion of a stranger

Oh, laughing in the face of danger

Oh, in this passion of a stranger

Yeah, I don’t need your love

Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood
