lyrics

All bets are off
Can't change your answer
The hellhounds are on your trail

For you there’s no more questions
For what it's worth
Congratulations

From this point on
No more retries
One life, RNG to max
No refunds

As long as you keep the rules in mind
I am sure you’ll just be fine

—

We are long past the boiling point
Closer to the place we belong
Closer to the edge where the old barbed fence
Ends twisted in a smiley face

This one won’t be the last to fight
Tell everyone: come take a byte
Scratch down one more
Another day, another threshold’s left behind

—

The safety net was taken down
Now what’s beneath is another kind of road
Only time will tell how many deaths
We were destined to avoid

—

This is where the black screen hits
There are no choices left in the catalogue
For you and me this time there will be no
After-credits epilogue

—

What were your thoughts
When the wall of fangs formed right behind your back?
Was it your first face time with the tricky freedom?
Or for the first time wanting pain?

What courage did it take?
Was it just a desperate rebel’s call
To pass beyond this point of no return?

—

Will you give up or go down loud?
Let us leave “running” to the smart
Since the crossing of the bottom line
Your heartbeat’s very frowned upon

—

Feed me your higher lie
Feed me your higher lie
