Choked by the weight of time
A pressure stronger every year gone by
We can't escape from a will of isolation
But we accept this burden at open arms
'cause in our choice there is no sacrifice or renounce
We embrace our words
Giving form to our thoughts
Some call this truth
I call surviving at any cost
We're here in this living hell
Where idealism is alienation and pain
Forced to sacrifice our conscience
On the altar of their grain
This is not a stance or a faith
Is our reaction and it's not going to change
STRAIGHT EDGE!
Choked by the weight of time
A pressure stronger every year gone by
We can't escape from a will of isolation
But we accept this burden at open arms
'cause in our choice there is no sacrifice or renounce
