Bring this underground, bring this to its knees   Marching in slumber, swelling shades of mystery      We have the motive to breathe   And to feed from the mouth of deceit      Bring this underground, bring this to its knees   Bring this underground, bring this to its knees   Bring this underground, bring this to its knees      Mutual fear will bring us peace   The raven builds its nest, builds its nest      We have the motive to breathe   And to feed from the mouth of deceit   We have the motive to breathe   And to feed from the mouth of deceit      No, we have the motive to breathe   And to feed from the mouth of deceit      I'm haunted by the strains of human limitation   Haunted by the strains of human limitation, limitation, haunted   I'm haunted by the strains of human limitation   Haunted by the strains of human limitation, limitation      We have the motive to breathe   And to feed from the mouth of deceit   We have the motive to breathe   And to feed from the mouth of deceit      I'm sending you letters like I'm daring you to   In relation to you going astray   What seemed like a lifetime spent riding   On the wings of backwards devils      It was like I had fled from a lion, only to meet a bear   Cut off when I saw the unseen   Sending me home, covered with dust and ashes   Humiliation and insignificance      Oh, the curious teeth of a bear, those fangs   A continual lash and spur onto dedication   I will not be moved or shaken   I will not be mislead      Messenger follows messenger, follows messenger   Follows messenger, follows messenger   Follows messenger, follows messenger   Follows messenger
