about

That moment of anger - written for someone who went there too often.

lyrics

The Rage

Too late to choke back angry Words
To halt the arrow of the curse
Witness the damage
You can’t manage to reverse
And in a second’s thoughtless rush
Propelled by anger, mindless thrust
You make a statement
No abatement, you can’t hush

And in the heat of argument
The cut and parry of dissent
Red faced you bellow
In your hell of discontent
And hard the blood pulse in the veins
Your hand are slipping from the reins
You’re losing grip
A red haze slips across your brain.

Then hit the climax at full tilt
Attacking forces, blood is spilled
And you feel righteous
And your might must never wilt
Full on, you wallow in your power
You are the master of the hour
You stand there feted,
You’re decorated, in full flower

That red rage crashes on the shore
Control is lost in anger’s roar
The temples pulse, the heart explodes
Rise up as hot invective flows
You let the wild beast off the leash
You've given mayhem its release
Wide eyed and rampant there you stand
All reason gone – no master plan.

As the adrenaline slips away
And, claws retracted, there you sway
Looking around you
The red pound turning to grey
And now you wonder if, in haste
You maybe made some huge mistake
Now so uncertain
Almost hurting and defaced.
