Stampede

​Everyone is rushing me 
then they have the nerve to ask 
why I'm going so fast 
"It's not like there's a stampede 
right behind you threatening your life" 
They say this with a grin 
A real shit-eating grin 
A smile more mischievious than contagious 
More infected than infectious 
The reaper beckoning on your life 

They haven't caught up with me 
They are craving my destiny 
Like a pack of salivating dogs 
Like a pack of swirling vultures 
What will it take to stop the herd 
and why aren't you more disturbed? 

Everyone is rushing me 
then they have the nerve to ask 
why I'm going so fast 
"It's not like there's a stampede 
right behind you threatening your life" 
They say this with a grin 
A real shit-eating grin 
A smile more mischievous than contagious 
More infected than infectious 
The reaper beckoning on your life 

No one can take my energy 
I'm the only one with that kind of power 

No one can take my energy 
I am the only one with that kind of power 
With the force of a nuclear reactor 
With the force of chemical warfare 
What will it take to stop the man 
and what's your back up plan? 

Everyone is rushing me 
then they have the nerve to ask 
why I'm going so fast 
"It's not like there's a stampede 
right behind you threatening your life" 
They say this with a grin 
A real shit-eating grin 
A smile more mischievous than contagious 
More infected than infectious 
The reaper beckoning on your life
