Down To The Essence

Lyrics for Down To The Essence

The luck of the tyrant who dies in his sleep The mind of a prisoner who lives in his dreams The hand in the curtain, the string that it pulls The fear in your eyes, the money that's worth The god of a dolt who prays every night The sword from a man who swings from his spite The fullness of those who live how they die The power of people who stand up and fight Get-get down to the essence of the answers that you seek You're late to the party and we're all about to leave All day, all night you ignore reality So get down to the essence of the answers that you seek The lines of her palm that tell her she's rich The lessons you learn face down in a ditch Armed with a lance he set out to live Hunting down demons hat do not exist The soul of a coward who sleeps like a child The bodies he's buried, his hideous smile Show him the truth and he's suddenly blind The beast in his eyes when there's nowhere to hide Get down to the essence of the answers that you seek You're late to the party and we're all about to leave All day, all night you ignore reality So get down to the essence of the answers that you seek Face yourself Face yourself Face yourself or die
