lyrics

LYRICS
Complete disregard for all he sees
Compass lost jungle disease
Silverback controls his clan
Ride the wave of the rulers plan

Puffs his chest like everybody’s watching
Snake the tide the animals are foxing
Gives a deadline a show of force
Lack of intellect drives remorse

Waking up in the night and all he sees
Is the man he's trying to be
Locked up in a game of charades
A bigger picture keep the crusade

Round up the troops to the business end
Seeking peace he tries to amend
Break it up won’t leave the nest
Times have changed so move with jest

Push the boundaries change the rules
Silverback can’t deal with fools
In the end the price will pay
A poacher's hand slaves away

Waking up in the night and all he sees
Is the man he's trying to be
Locked up in a game of charades
A bigger picture keep the crusade

Waking up in the night and all he sees
Is the man he's trying to be
Take one step back two steps down
A silverbacks charge don’t look down

Stand behind the matriarchs walls
Follow blind he heads that calls
Judge harshly what you don’t understand
Swollen neck viral gland

Waking up in the night and all he sees
Is the man he's trying to be
Locked up in a game of charades
A bigger picture keep the crusade

Waking up in the night and all he sees
Is the man he's trying to be
Take one step back two steps down
A silverbacks charge don’t look down
