Lyrics
Look inside and you will see The words are cutting deep inside my brain Thunder burnin' quickly burning Knife of words is driving me insane, insane yeah Raven black is on my track He shows me how to neutralize the knife Show to me in surgery The art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer Life yeah Now the wicked lance of fear Is driving from my heady mountain brain Crash course in brain surgery Has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, Yeah, yeah
