Rhythm fig 1 w/ " A choice is made" again
 
 
Lyrics:
 
You know the feeling when adrenaline takes control
Cant beat the rush that leaves a suicidal hold
Instinct spares no one destroying the human heart
The taste of blood can rip your soul apart
Devils that drive us do not discriminate
A state of mind that becomes the ultimate end
Action re-action bloodline is not immune
To the depth of human nature inside of me and you
 
A sociopath with empty eyes and no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone my blood runs cold
 
Evils of passion can drive reasons to extremes
Love, hate and murder, Temporary insanity
On the edge of a demented personality
Emotional pain is a deadly reality
 
A Sociopath with empty eyes and no soul
 
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone my blood runs cold!!!
 
A choice is made of free will just like the choice to kill
Decision to lose control my self destructive rationale
A choice is made, made of free will
Just like the choice, the choice to kill
In the speed of the moment, life stands still
Now you're standing in my killing field
 
a choice is made of free will just like the choice to kill
In the speed of the moment, life stands still
Now you're standing in my killing field!
