Lyrics
Instincts
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.
Yeah!
Beware the serpents in the leaves and their deception
And their deception
When outstretched hands close to a fist
Becomes a weapon
I see the damage they have done
I see the battles just begun
I know the answer lies inside
I feel it when I close my eyes
Through disaster and decay
Survive to fight another day
There's no time for you to question every single step you take
So press on
And trust in your instincts
Trust in your instincts
Break down the barriers of fear and superstition
Listen to your primal past and intuition
You'll see (the damage they have done)
You'll see (the war is never won)
You'll know the answer lies inside
You'll tell me when you close your eyes
Through disaster and decay
Survive to fight another day
There's no time for you to question every single step you take
So press on
And trust in your instincts
Kill or be killed
Stand and fight
Sink or swim
Run and hide
Because the answer lies within
Through disaster and decay
Survive to fight another day
There's no time for you to question every single step you take
So press on
And trust in your instincts
