Lyrics:
The air is thick with venom, like a serpent's hiss,
Or layers of deceit, wrapped in a lover’s kiss.
Inciting fierce response, the dance of the damned,
Fucking double standards, into a corner we are jammed.

You are master baiters, phony tough and crazy brave,
You’re world class trolls, in love with the grave.
Wanna see the world burn, it’s your sick desire,
Your only destiny, is a date with eternal fire.

Turning pain to power, from many cuts and bruises,
Whoever throws the first punch, is the one who always loses.
So be careful now, when you throw that stone,
In this ruthless contest, you’re only flesh and bone.
(It’s RAGE BAIT), they wanna see us fight,
Provoking fire and fury, in the dead of night.
(It’s RAGE BAIT), it’s the bullies’ only tool,
We see through the gaslight; we won’t be your fools.

We play by the rules, but you trample every law,
You think that we are helpless, in your almighty jaws.
You taunt our defenders, with cruel fixation,
Provoking any rage, in your crafted escalation.

Projection like a mirror, reflecting your own hate,
In this dumb crusade, you construct your own fate.
Your masks and your badges, make you petty mindless mules,
As transparent as ICE, you’re just a cast of fools.

Turning pain to power, from many cuts and bruises,
Whoever throws the first punch, is the one who always loses.
So be careful now, when you throw that stone,
In this ruthless contest, you’re only flesh and bone.
(It’s RAGE BAIT), they wanna see us fight,
Provoking fire and fury, in the dead of night.
(It’s RAGE BAIT), it’s the bullies’ only tool,
We see through the gaslight; we won’t be your fools.

[Guitar Solo]

You attack the innocent, your lives are full of sin,
You rouse discontent, but the walls are closing in.
Your time will be short, and your judgement will be made,
And justice will cut deep from the falling blade.

We’ll resist the urge for our just vengeance,
We’ll seek the path of peaceful transcendence.
You smile like demons, with your daggers displayed,
We’ll resist temptation, and payback will be made.

Turning pain to power, from many cuts and bruises,
Whoever throws the first punch, is the one who always loses.
So be careful now, when you throw that stone,
In this ruthless contest, you’re only flesh and bone.
(It’s RAGE BAIT), they wanna see us fight,
Provoking fire and fury, in the dead of night.
(It’s RAGE BAIT), it’s the bullies’ only tool,
We see through the gaslight; we won’t be your fools.
