Cronos Lyrics

[Words By: Lant, Music By: Lant]

Watch your back, watch your sides, you think you're safe running with the tide
Take a step, take a chance, now the storm's got you in a trance
Inside you feel it, eyes on your back
Won't leave you alone, that's a fact

From hell to the unknown, you're looking out for your own
From hell to the unknown, watching out for your mortal soul

Work it out, find your way, you got it right now it's gotta stay
Pushing in, pulling out, now you know what it's all about
Inside you feel it, wrapped around your skin
Won't leave you alone, it won't give in

From hell to the unknown, you're looking out for your own
From hell to the unknown, watching out for your mortal soul

Keep it safe, hold on tight, you know you can't go without a fight
Do your thing, fuck the rest, take no room for the second best
Inside you feel it, eyes on your back
Won't leave you alone, until the attack





From hell to the unknown, you're looking out for your own
From hell to the unknown, watching out for your mortal soul
