I always hope for the best
But prepare for the worst
Life is war
You know that yourself
Although we are still here till the coffin's closed
All the shit we're faced are the hammer and nails - yeah
Dog eat dog! The ruthless prevail
Don't look
Into these eyes
You won't see yourself
Only the taint and pain and a faint-hearted hope
It's a joke
That never ends, the punch line's missing
That's why you never see me fucking smile
Life is tough. Life is quicksand. Life is fucking war
For all I know truth has a tendency to be breaking through
Do you still pray to your god or are you past that, too?
I'm not a shepherd but I sure am no fucking sheep
Life is war and I am in too deep
Don't look into these eyes
You won't see yourself
Only the taint and pain and a faint-hearted hope
It's a joke
That never ends
The punch line's missing
That's why you never see me smile
Call me stupid or brave
But I always choose the high road
And the bare knuckle fight
I'd shake the devil's hand
If he mutes my demons
So I can sleep for just one night
Dog eat dog!
