Lyrics
The Beast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
No mercy with time
They brand you with the fire
Then push you into the sun
They want the free land to expire
They want everyone to be numb
The worlds drinking from a cup that no one wants to share
Words from the king that no one wants to hear
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Retrench me because of machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track mark under the sleeve
I can't talk I need to run
Loves thrown away the ring
Not knowing what to say
Mama won't you sing
It's like you're cut by the blade
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
Don't be running late, are you on time today?
(Don't be running late)
Don't be running late (till the end)
