BACKHAND GAME
MUSIC: NATHALIE MARKOCH & ELIAS CHECCO | LYRICS: NATHALIE MARKOCH

rage seats in thee
but instead of causing pain
it seeps, the rain
diluting this distaste

run, crawl...
until your knees disjoint
while fleeing in awe
as they discharge the gun

inured to let the strong
knead their greed
too certain do they know
your ignorance is bliss

despite all the smoke screens
use your mind to finally tackle this backhand game!

white, strong, tall
a delusion from the host
defined by haste
of creating disarray

resemblance of the old
days to come
the hard lesson once taught
was long ago in-urned

despite all the smoke screens
use your mind to finally tackle this backhand game!

rise for the future, for the past!
for the present that will last only if we fight
to recover what was ours
to redeem the key of wisdom and high trust!

rise for the future, for the past!
for the present that will last only if we fight
to recover what was ours
redeem the key of trust!

guitar solo: elias checco

inured to let the strong
knead their greed
too certain do they know
your ignorance is bliss

despite all smoke screens
use your mind to finally tackle their backhand game!
devious minds oppress the horde
they wring out the value, the passion, the wrath from our hearts!

rise for the future, for the past!
for the present that will last only if we fight
to recover what was ours
to redeem the key of wisdom and high trust!

rise for the future, for the past!
for the present that will last only if we fight
to recover what was ours
redeem the key of trust!

for the present that will last only if we fight
to recover what was ours

rise for the future, for the past!
for the present that will last only if we fight
to recover what was ours
redeem the key...
