lyrics

Dumped into the back
you packed your bags and now you lie in wait
for the fog to arrive

Slipping through the night
have you got the right tool for the job
Or must you improvise

The task at hand
there's always agency in change
your time has arrived
don't you loose your nerve
don't give up the cause

Coming to the town
a place you promised never to return
but promises can be broken

Crossing through the streets
the windows dark the air it is so cold
will you do what you've been told

The task at hand
there's always agency in change
your time has arrived
don't you loose your nerve
don't give up the cause

Coloring your lens
moving in to harden your resolve
and the moon is on the rise

Coming to the door
you get the feeling that you're on the edge
then a shadow appears

The task at hand
there's always agency in change
your time has arrived
don't you loose your nerve
don't give up the cause
