Me Against

The big hand moves, 3:00 AM once again

Calm night, no wind, is how the story begins

Sitting still, no action, thinking this is life

Tell the wife everything is fine, but it's a lie

The clouds come in, I can feel it in my bones

The universe is coming home and I am not alone

Any longer, destiny and fate conspire

To lead me to the fire, the air is getting drier

I can feel it, on the verge, it's about to come

Strap the sword to my side and then I load the guns

I can feel their presence, outside in the fields

The dogs bark, the birds hush as the silence builds
