Mesmerize – Hot Lead Cold Steel lyrics

Hot Lead Cold Steel
(Music: A. Tito / Lyrics: F. Orlandini)

The story goes that
Once I was drowned in a glass
Then resurfaced again
My soul was scarred and
Forever branded with shame
Of a worthless way

A pack of rebels we're supposed to fight
Savage, still bound with distant morals
A long time has passed and a new age has come
We're gonna make a clean sweep of 'em all
They use no firearms
Believe in cold steel
There is no chance they prevail

Emerging from the fog
Of our delusions
The roughness of the truth
Has turned my point of view

They arise from the bowels of time
Bringing a forgotten loyalty
Give their lives just to recoil from lies
That's the price to pay

Losing the battle I've lost my mind
The right seems so wrong and the wrong's so charming
I've fought unknown enemies all of my life
Now for the first time, I've found their valour

They need no firearms
Believe in cold steel
Their only way to prevail

It's hard to realize
You chose the wrong side
You can't wipe what you did
But you can cross the line

They arise from the bowels of time
Bringing a forgotten loyalty
Give their lives just to recoil from lies
That's the price to pay

Isn't it foolish?
You have to wait till the end
To make sense to a whole life
It's never too late
To turn over a new leaf
And to start from scratch

They arise from the bowels of time
Bringing a forgotten loyalty
Give their lives just to recoil from lies
That's the price to pay
