C.O.T.C. Songtext
von Ballista

Nothing means nothing and your words are just words
Your actions sound like thunder, that′s a lesson never learned
After everything I've done I have nothing left to say
You′re not stepping on my toes, you're in my fucking way

You're in my way

Leave the past in the past, cut the fat
Eyes focused on tomorrow, following the sun west
Stricken down in my path
Pulled down and pushed back

Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
Nothing to bleed


Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
I′ve got nothing left to bleed

Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
I′ve got nothing left to bleed
To bleed

I wear a mask of scar tissue
Every day it eats into my face
Overcome my pain
Severing my chains

On balance
Off balance

I won't lose my malice

Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars
C.O.T.C. ′till I D.I.E.


I still atone
Suffer my fate encased in stone
C.O.T.C. 'till I D.I.E
