Lyrics
- Dreamless dorm, ticking clock
- I walk away from the soundless room
- Windless night, moonlight melts
- My ghostly shadow to the lukewarm gloom
- Nightly dance of bleeding swords
- Reminds me that I still live
- I will burn my dread
- I once ran away from the god of fear
- And he chained me to despair
- Burn my dread
- I'll break the chain
- And run till I see the sunlight again
- I'll lift my face and run to the sunlight
- Voiceless town, tapping feet
- I clench my fist in pockets tight
- far in mist a tower awaits
- like a merciless tomb, devouring moonlight
- Clockwork maze, end unknown
- In frozen time a staircase stands
- Shadows crawl on bloodstained floor
- I rush straight ahead with a sword in hands
- Cold touch of my trembling gun
- I close my eyes to hear you breathe
- (burn my dread x2)
- I will burn my dread
- This time I'll grapple down that god of fear
- and throw him into hell's fire
- Burn my dread
- I'll shrug the pain and run till I see the sunlight again
- Oh, I will run burning all regret and dread
- And I will face the sun with pride of the living
Last Battle
- I WILL!
- (burn my dread x4)
- One time for your mind
- Hey yo, drop like this
- There's no man's land
- No man ever survived
- Invisible hands are
- Behind you just now
- If you ever win that
- Race against rage then
- You'll be king 'cuz
- It's no man's land
- (For real)
- The mask is in heavy rain
- Ultimately slain
- Make shadows slave
- What we've done is in vain
- Carrying AK-47, 24/7
- But you've gotta live it persecuted by heaven
- Comes from the direction
- No indication
- You've got to
- To let it move first
- Let it out, let it down
- Let it inside, let loose
- Letting letting damn depressed
- Let's get it up
- Then what'cha gotta do is
- Drop the hammer down
- Drop rhyme drop hammer
- Digging like a labor
- You've got blood all over
- Ash all over, spit it out
- Son game's over
- (burn my dread)
- Tear up your fear
- The end is coming near
- Spit it out like a spear
- I'll burn your dread
- (burn my dread)
- No soul, robust
- All dust, we bust
- Justice to the man with no life
- (burn my dread)
- Tear up your fear
- The end is coming near
- Spit it out like a spear
- I'll burn your dread
- (burn my dread)
- No soul, robust
- All dust, we bust
- Justice to the man with no life
Last Battle -Reincarnation: Persona 3-
Burn my dread (x4)
Got your bulletproof (burn my dread) vest?
Burn my dread (x5)
Fear not, jump in the fire
Got to burn the dread
Let my soul aspire to a higher place
In this gaia case
No time to waste
Never close this case, man
What ever you do, it's always gonna come back
So living by the gun's gonna get the gun clap
I ain't giving in
Hell no, fuck that
If you got a problem
Then stand up and say "what?"
Man's gotta do, you know
What a man's gotta do for life
The battle, yeah
Got a little robust since we first met
'Cause I have yet to put my fist down
It ain't easy, but never show my weakness
No way out of this, so you better seize it
Deep breath
Talk to Jesus, pray to God
Still make my own way and I preach this
Burn my dread (x9)
I am the front man who used to be the nicest
Making my own rules, apply them for their guidance
Only top deuce in the game knows how to fight this
The fear of life, many choose to run away from it
On the straightaway, they get caught up
Grabbed, thrown down, smashed up
I'm afraid of what's to come
At the same time afraid of what I've become
No way out of this, so drop the bomb
Trace my trails and follow and that's done
One, two, three
And let me pop this right here and become number one
I may dictate but you know the shit's great
cause I think straight but my rhyme's not baked
Know that sometimes you just gotta let it go
To the flow, to town on the microphone
Burn my dread (x9)
