The pit-fall of selfish anger
Lyrics
Hatred - Erik Haakenstad
Look at you now,
So hard and sure
Bent on finding a way
Just to ruin the mood
The unfiltered burn,
Acid words in your mouth
The taste of the power
To blow everything down
The intoxication
of the immediate act
Frenzied destruction,
the powder-keg spark
You’re feeling so clever,
feeling so smart
You’re feeling so righteous
But you’ll go too far
Tighter and tighter locked hard on the rails
Faster and faster no way you can fail
There’s no way now that you can turn it back
You’re on a dark ride, it’s a one-way track
When you’ve got the hatred, you’ve got the rage
You’ve got the anger, you want the pain
Thinking nothing will stop
your loco-motive advance
The whole world’s burning
You’re just starting to dance
You’re feeling so clever,
Feeling so smart
You’re feeling so righteous
As you fall through the dark,
Tighter and tighter locked hard on the rails
Faster and faster no way you can fail
There’s no way now that you can turn it back
You’re on a dark ride, it’s a one-way track
You’ve got the hatred, you’ve got the rage
You’ve got the anger, you want the pain
