You Saps Keep Your Faith Well Take the Money by Thoughtcastle Lyrics

I feel a dark shadow
Clasping at my neck
I've heard these screams a million times
Coming from the depths
They say

Your life ripped from within
Your weakened sense of self
You hold your cards close to your chest

Catch me out!
As you turn the corner we stand apart
The divider
Unifier
Steadfast in stone

Do you have the nerve
Do you have the heart
Oh!

Bright lights flash in my face
Moving through adversity
Then the clasping grip finds me
And I awake
A broken man
When they return I must be ready
My fear, my hurt, my curse
I'm stranded
I brace myself
A curtain calls
From other side
Consumed by light

My tired body gives way
I find myself back again
Being pulled apart
Clasping at my neck

Back again
The light, to black
And I
Feel nothing

Bright lights flash in my face
Moving through adversity
Then the clasping grip finds me
And I awake
A broken man
