lyrics

There's only one way, yeah – kill or be killed
In terms of evolution it's a matter of sheer will
Don't say you'll turn your back on me
I will make sure it's the last thing you'll ever see

There's no avoiding this
There's no escaping it
You've got no other choice
Facing your fears

...so stand and be counted
You'll never play it safe if you don't understand it
Solo – don't go it alone now
Remember lesson one, it was safety in numbers


All eyes are on you
And it's no use playing dead
Don't let this fall through
This is not all over yet
(All eyes are on you
And it's no use playing dead
Believe me it's true
So don't you forget)

Watch out, these are dangerous times
You put a foot wrong, it's a scene of a crime
No doubt, you'll be running away
You'd only do that if you've nothing to say

All eyes are on you
And it's no use playing dead
Don't let this fall through
This is not all over yet
(All eyes are on you
And it's no use playing dead
Believe me it's true
So don't you forget)


You think you're attractive
You feel in control
Believe in the mask you put on
But trust me you've lost your soul

All eyes are on you
And it's no use playing dead
Don't let this fall through
This is not all over yet
(All eyes are on you
And it's no use playing dead
Believe me it's true
So don't you forget)


(you will find you can’t hide to survive, we will strive to provide, the dividing line is here)

about

Aphemia image

Aphemia UK

Aphemia is an industrial progressive rock band, combining influences such as Nine Inch Nails and Celldweller all wrapped up in a sonic-assault production onslaught of Devin Townsend.

Heavy guitar grooves and synth leads punch their way through the soundstage created by dark ethereal pads and rhythmic patterns. Lyrically, the songs are about vocalising the difficulties and hypocrisies of life. ... more
