A Violent Strike Songtext
von The Human Abstract

And out of the great beyond came a pitch-black multitude
Here to choose the weakest of our race
Hands with the devil′s own face, yeah

Confused of violent strife for something finally here to guide the way
Our faith in order was a mistake
Fearful and divine and devoid of grace
They tried to run, but there's no escape
And the light decayed on that final day
Fear crept up inside, the night became something more than a dream
Ends our slumber, a weakness that we all can share
Now there′s a howl in the wind, this is the end

And I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky
It was like a call from the other side

What will you do now? The fires of hell are raining down
Deep inside, you're starting to shake and slowly losing ground
Everyone is dead, your bravery is useless
Your bravery is useless


And I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky
It was like a call from the other side
And there I dried, out of control and paralyzed
As everything I once was died

No way I'd be dying honorably
If they came and took my life now
No way I′d be dying honorably

Regrets in tow, I didn′t even stand a chance
So hear me, the final line's been drawn
To build again, to fall again
Has worn me down to the last straw
Took me down, took me
I don′t feel human at all
Test me now, test me
I don't feel human at all

So don′t you go thinking that you'll
Find strength without a trial or two
These days have got me feeling like a god
Hear me, the final line′s been drawn
To build again, to fall again
Has worn me down to the last straw


And I held on so long to my home
Until the tempest came
She came in and swept it away

And I held on so long to my home
Until the tempest came
She came in and swept it away

Where's your bravery?
What will bravery do for you now?
Where's your bravery?
What will bravery do for you now?
Where′s your bravery?
What will bravery do for you now?
