The Human Abstract - Crossing The Rubicon lyrics

Of all the times Ive been disrespected, youd think itd be no surprise

Learning lessons, all the precious treasures take all that youve got

Ill take your ready hand with a ready blade

Dead set to make you lie in the bed youve made

Paid in full, Ill take it from your pride

I dont know what you thought, but youve gone past the line

And youve got me wrong

The time has come, your song has long been sung

Brought down, you wont have long to go

Im not cutting a loss again

An hourglass of sand, and Ill be on time, inform the rest

Run as fast as you can, hells coming for you

Try to strike and then slip away

But I wont let you leave without feeling an equal pain

Youll see, because Ill make you see

Left in my council youll know what it means to respect me

Once Ive caught you alone, Ill teach you all you need to know

Pray, once Ive caught you alone,

That I teach you all you need to know.

Each of us has boundaries, everyone has got a breaking point

I wish I held desire solely to right this wrong

Take careful tones urging the dawn to come

Make every word worth what it takes in turn

But I cant go on with my faith interrupted

How can I look the other way?

Youve shown me there is no other way out
