Under The Blade lyrics

A glint of steel, a flash of light

You know you're not going home tonight

Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind

Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find

You can't escape from the bed you've made

When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!

You're cornered in the alley way, you know you're all alone

You know it's gonna end this way, the chill goes to the bone

Now here it comes that glistening light, it goes into your side

Blackness comes, tonight's the night, blade is gonna ride

[Chorus:]

Cause you're under the blade

Oh, you're under the blade

It's not another party head, this time you cannot rise

Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped, a light shines in your eye

You faintly see a razor's edge, you open your mouth to cry

You know you can't, it's over now, blade is gonna ride

[Chorus]

A glint of steel, a flash of light

You know you're not going home tonight

Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind

There nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find

You can't escape from the bed you've made

When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!

You've tried to make it to the front, now you're pinned against the side

A monster stands before you now, its mouth is open wide

The lights go on, the night explodes, it tears into your mind

When the night does end, you'll come again, the blade is gonna ride

[Chorus]

Here it comes, baby

Ow!

Now you're under it

You're going down, down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Hey!

Ow!
