On Dangerous Ground
tiptoeing through a minefield of disaster
in-between games of love and war.
the heart's timpani drum faster and faster;
the sword of damocles soon to roar.

Neath the sword of Damocles
the vassal lays supine
gazing up at bitter fate
an endless space of time
threadbare death above him
Hades there below

carrion for the crow
echoing inside his head
he hears the gavel fall
liberty and truth betrayed
injustice for us all...

Mama sure wasn't around to warn ya...
