Face to face

With the lone individual who tried to erase me -

Excuses came, deals were made

But I'll never cower down

Bow down, or fall down

The last one tried it

The last one failed

I feel it deep down, like a pit in my gut

Where the pride used to hide, and its gone now but so what?

I've faced the past and I proved I can last to the end -

But what happened to my friends?

Like a tiptoeing burglar

They were off in the night

Without a fucking regard for what's wrong or right

They thought I'd disappear, they hoped I'd go away

But I knew in time that I'd coral my prey

The last one tried it

The last one failed

Now I'm hunting you mixed-up son-of-a-bitches

Went down the wrong path

Like a robin, now I walk and stalk without a pack

I try to resist, but my fucking instincts won't be suppressed

I have a tolerance for silver, but not disrespect

You've caused a change in my outlook on all humankind:

They're self-obsessed, they've lost my trust

They're much too weak-of-mind

No longer will I waste my time hoping for what i know is not:

They're just a battle-scar from the wars I've fought

The last one tried

The last one tried it

The last one tried

Now you've tried it, and you failed
