lyrics

These shackles hamper our every move, and they rattle with each twitch
No doubt that the turnkey would start awake should even scratch an itch
So break the system, dupe the world, and leave the currency in flames
Usurp the tyrant on his throne though you would end up just the same

Though you have been fucking with the fates
You’d better move from here and simply pass without trace
Though you think you can leap clear over the buffalo’s horns
Go ahead and vault this thicket of thorns and pass without trace

There’s no move that could salvage the game, you’ve not even a pawn to play
The only recourse that you have left is to simply turn away
To the swamps above the high dam, where the vapours take the scent
The primieval ooze it fills back in and your footprints leave no dent

Though you have been fucking with the fates
You’d better move from here and simply pass without trace
Though you think you can leap clear over the buffaloes horns
Go ahead and vault this thicket of thorns and pass without trace

The crocodiles still linger here to devour the tracking dogs
The spy drones can’t probe the undergrowth, the murk through which you slog
Sleep in all your clothes tonight, they’ll slowly tear away
And there’s be no trace of this modern world whose presence could betray

Though you have been fucking with the fates
You’d better move from here and simply pass without trace
Though you think you can leap clear over the buffaloes horns
Go ahead and vault this thicket of thorns and pass without
Pass without, pass without, pass without trace
