Lyrics

We wrote these plans 
Took the order 
The architecture and followed them to the end
Until the gears ground cold and relentless 
There was no remorse 

We had none we kept on 
With no trace of a regret 
There was no remorse

I never saw any blood 
No soul for the body 
Watch them turn her
Scab covered skin into stone 
Like a coal in the sky 
Searching for the dawn 
For the last time 
Bloated with white eyes wide 

We've come to an understanding
You lose - I profit 
High noon and there ain't no secrets 
No more excuses 

Now our number's up 
Let them lead us by the throat 
Now just smile while the rope pulls tighter... tighter 
What we've come through is an understatement 

The hourglass is never right side up 
And all the time we try to tear the script up 
Forgetting all the sour for the sweet 
The paragraph has never been so empty

Being big fans of Konami games, we are extremely happy to be a part of the newest versions of GUITARFREAKS and DRUMMANIA. We can remember our first trip to Japan and having the pleasure of playing earlier versions of these games in the Arcade. These Games are not only fun but a great way for young people to start looking at music in a more intricate and educational way. Thanks Konami!
