Elliot Valentine Lee, Mel Hornyak - Hold Back The Tide

It will strike if you’re not careful
And I am very careful
When you’re balanced on the precipice you don’t have time to choose
It’ll take your hand if you’re not careful
And I am very careful
Never promise it a part of you you can’t afford to lose

Oh you indolent, impulsive, insolent boy
The only thing you worship is your pride
If you ever learned - paid attention for once
You would understand you can’t hold back the tide
It will burst if you’re not careful
And i was very careful
I put togethеr failsafes and safes that failed again
It’ll takе your mind if you’re not careful
And i was very careful
I laid a trail of summonings to bring me back again

It’s not a tool, a weapon, or a thing to be led
You couldn’t do it even if you tried
It wants what it wants
And if that’s not enough
No matter what you can’t hold back the tide

Older than darkness
Older than light
Stronger than secrets
Stronger than might
You keep it in hidden to never set free
You are too frightened
You are frightened of me!

I am the darkness
I am the light
You can’t be trusted
So I’ll do what’s right
It seeks blood if you’re not careful
I don’t care to be careful
Why should I calm the tide for someone who can’t respect it when it calls?
It’ll take your life if you’re not careful!
