Arms Race lyrics

[Music: LaBrie/Pauly/Kernbach]

[Lyrics: Cash/Pauly/Guadagnoli]



I kill you I'm a lion

Snap your neck and leave you bleeding

I kill you I'm a virus

Destroy you once I'm in



I'm running I can't beat you

That's why I am so fast

I'm running down the food chain

This breath could be my last



Life is an endless battle raging on and on

Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn

One grows strong, the other stronger

Balance shifting, how much longer?



I'll eat you I'm a shark

Sink my teeth into your flesh

I'll squeeze you I'm a snake

Then down you whole while you're still fresh



I'll hide so you can't see me

Make myself disappear

Competition drives us forward

And blind ambition holds us back

Our tool manipulation

Forcing others' adaptation

Nature learns form its mistakes

Takes generations to improve

Can't run from the higher primates

Unchecked intellect devours

Animal communication

Manipulating other's power



Life is an endless battle raging on and on

Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn

One grows strong, the other stronger

Balance shifting, how much longer?



Life is an endless battle raging on and on

Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn

One grows strong, the other stronger

Balance shifting, how much longer?



Life is an endless battle raging on and on

Who will last the night and who won't see the dawn

One grows strong, the other stronger

Balance shifting, how much longer?
