Lyrics

The truth is that when I am killing in order to survive

I have never felt so alive I am always seeking to live and die on the edge Life is a broken simulation I'm unable to feel I'm searching for something that's real I am always seeking to see what's behind the veil

Trapped in a maze of unseen walls These blockades must fall

Crush, crush Raze and rush Seize and fight for your life Smash, test Beat the best Fight for your life You've been summoned now

I never sleep or rest but I'm still running out of time I have sacrificed all of my life The time has come to To prove to you what I'm worth

Trapped in a maze of endless walls These blockades must fall

Crush, crush Raze and rush Seize, fight for your life Smash, test Beat the best Fight for your life You've been summoned now

Crush, crush Raze and rush Seize, fight for your life Smash, test Beat the best Fight for your life You've been summoned now
