All Else Failed - Repeat The Cycle

from Safe Harbor: Edgewise / All Else Failed Split by Harvcore

lyrics

You had a chance
A chance to save a life
But you let him loose
Let him out
And you let him strike

You played the odds
Surprise snake eyes again
Lock him up
Let him out
Let him bite again

Just a phase perhaps
We all deserve a second chance
And a third and a fourth and a tenth

And what for safety's sake
Who did you wish to castigate?
the vicious animal or the innocent?

Go
Catch and cage the wolf
Lock the gate
Only
To re-release the wolf
There's
No warning when he strikes
His Crimson teeth
Bite
And all you can do
Is weep for its prey
Such empty tears

Again you had the chance
A chance to stop the bleed
you let him out
Set him free
And you let him feed
The cheaper alternate,
what you pay is what get
Empty the cage and cross your fingers.
How much have you saved?

Go
Catch and cage the wolf
Lock the gate
Only
To release the wolf
But There's
No warning when he strikes
His Crimson teeth
Bite
And all you can do
Is weep for its prey
Such empty tears

Another slap on the wrist
Is just a slap in the face
Keep repeating the cycle
And never learn

You never learn.

Have you weighed the consequence?
Factored the risk statistically?
My children are innocent.
What price did you put on their heads?

You went and released the wolf
carnage to him is natural
And now we all mourn the loss
But Can we fault the animal?

So where do we put the blame
Watch where you point your finger
You opened up the fence
You let this happen...
I blame you.
