Lyrics
Release the Pressure
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.
Feel the tension mounting in the air
No one seems to give a damn
No one seems to care
There'll be no submission, no surrender
Release, release, release the pressure
Tear off the mask of illusion
Smash on the screens
Where nothing is ever what is seems
There'll be no submission, no surrender
Release, release, release the pressure
The queen of sleaze
And the answer lies
Where you gonna run to since
We ripped off your face
There'll be no submission, no surrender
Release, release, release the pressure
A dark and hungry god arises
A savage messiah
There'll be no submission, no surrender
Release, release, release the pressure
We walked out of the eye of a hurricane
We were raised in bondage
We were born in flames
There'll be no submission, no surrender
Release, release, release the pressure
Tear off the mask of ilusion
Smash on the screens
Where nothing appears as what it seems
There'll be no submission, no surrender
Release, release, release the pressure
Release the pressure
Release the pressure
Release the pressure
Release the pressure
Release the pressure
Release, release, release the pressure
Release the pressure
Release, release, release the pressure...
