CREDITS // Song: Skirmish-P Tuning: The SongKeeper Art: Dyalexa MV: KRINGG Piano: damselcat LYRICS // Raise the gates, uphold the radio Don't disturb the ebb and the flow You said these walls can detach it all Standing in limbo But dancing seems to show all the seams you sow Steps repeating, and I return to hesitate 'Cause you've turned into something I can only learn to hate (Mm) Well, it seems I was right about you Kept me wrapped around your finger 'til it slipped out loose So where's the time gone? Maybe it was my wrong; Dancing with a slow-moving marionette Turned blindly to the cues when I should've let loose Dared to see beyond the faux, but I think I should know Still I lie divided at the cross-roads Waiting for the curtain call 'Cause I didn't even know you at all They say return to the shelter What you know could never falter But the word on the front's hand-stamped by the Devil Himself If the music isn't terrorising Then tell me why the lyrics are singing my downfall When dues are paid, you chant it like a serenade But then is there really something beyond all that hate? (Damn) It seems I was right about you Kept me wrapped around your finger 'til it slipped out loose So where's the time gone? Maybe it was my wrong; Should've kept my distance from a marionette You turn into the Devil when it's on Trapped inside a monster's sob song and singing along Terrified of the wrong kind of enemy, clearly And it's plain to see that next you're coming after me! It seems I was wrong about you Didn't think you had it in you to climb the ninth circle with your bare hands Beyond the surface, a new kind of legacy To fill your greed And now you've got your feed It means I was right about you Kept me wrapped around your finger 'til it slipped out loose So how's your new perk? Thirteen on the clockwork But there was no use in cutting the threads All of the steps that I'm watching you do Caught you stumbling again, still you're seeing it through Deeper down into the depths of Inferno Wondering how long 'til you see "And then they came for me."
