2. Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis (6:49)
Within struggle, amidst horror
Inside conflict, visceral war
Make a stand here, vanquish all fear
Don't hesitate, eradicate
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Apprehension runs down your chin
Masticate it, suck those tears in
Life's a battle, perpetual crusade
One against all, time to wield the blade
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Inside conflict, visceral war
Make a stand here, vanquish all fear
Don't hesitate, eradicate
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Apprehension runs down your chin
Masticate it, suck those tears in
Life's a battle, perpetual crusade
One against all, time to wield the blade
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
