Extinction Through Victory - Ashkira

Endangered species, caged in fright Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight The stage is set, now pay the price An ego boost, don't think twice Technology, the battle's unfair You pull the trigger without a care Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned The hunt is canned All are gone, all but one No contest, nowhere to run No more left, only one This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare The skin and trophy, oh so rare Silence speaks louder than words Ignore the guilt, and take your turn Liars anagram is "lairs" Man you were never even there Killed a few feet from the cages Point blank, you're so courageous So courageous All are gone, all but one No contest, nowhere to run No more left, only one This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction One hour from now Another species of life form Will disappear off the face of the planet Forever... and the rate is accelerating

Do you feel at home in limbo? Hiding a broken vow A phantom at the window Can you swallow the shame? Has your courage been burnt out, faded away? There won't be a saviour in sight, but it's okay 'Cause we're comfortable We're stood at the edge of the world Seize the snakes They're living a lie Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye We're stood at the edge of the world When the clock runs down to zero We'll stand up and take a bow So quick to play the hero Are you fanning the flames? Are you torching the lighthouse stood in way? Complicity burning so bright yet we delay Are you culpable? Seize the snakes They're living a lie Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye We're stood at the edge of the world Drag the lake When the water runs dry We'll be slaves to the anchor, the Devil may cry We're stood at the edge of the world We're stood at the edge of the world (world, world, world) Nothing is holy, we all take the blame Crumbling slowly, the cliff face belongs to the ocean So run for your life Do you remember the tip of the spear? The edge of the knife? We're freshly dismembered but won't shed a tear So run for your life We're stood at the edge of the world Seize the snakes They're living a lie Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye We're stood at the edge of the world Drag the lake When the water runs dry We'll be slaves to the anchor, the Devil may cry We're fighting to stay alive, how can we all survive? No second chances, we're stood at the edge of the world We're stood at the edge of the world, yeah We're fighting to stay alive
