Lyrics
build em up to tear em down
throw their pieces on the ground
but you never will again
when all you've loved is burned away
revenge is filling up the graves
but it never will again
your livin on borrowed time
livin on borrowed time begins
gambling with an outlaw hand
where it goes somebody knows
but they never will again
2 faces of one man
slight of hand turns best laid plans
but it never will again
your livin on borrowed time
livin on borrowed time begins
Give or take away the pain
the road ahead leads no place left to hide
