Return Of The Antagonist lyrics

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half

When I fist moved to Nashville didn't know about

The legend of the serial spiritual murderer

He thrive on those whose calling was music ministry

Spotted several times during GMA week

His approach was lunch meeting and sessions at studios

Sometimes he was seen at the shows creeping in silence like a prowler at hunt

Peeping through windows, vanishin' as the wind blows

Black cape, white mask by night

Best friend or acquaintance by day

Someone you would least expect this plight to be carried out through or displayed

Waited for the point of vulnerability

Suddenly, when I was alone, no one around,

Voices telling me to give up, staring at the ceiling, praying they'll shut up

"Choose," they say, "darkness or light,

Good and bad don't mix, either black or white"

And for a moment the room turns grey

A foggy haze and I hear a voice say,

"Follow me completely and the world is yours,

You'll never get ahead trying to worship some lord"

And at that same moment I hear lightning strike,

And through the foggy haze I saw an image of light

"Get behind Me," said the voice to the other,

"Bow once again ye father of sins, and for you; make a choice now,

Lay your life down of be spat from my mouth.

Hypocrisy is one of the sins I most hate.

Don't become a victim of the antagonist."

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half

It was a dark and stormy night, just like this one

Tripped when I was gripped by fear

It overcame me

Oh, beady sinister eyes

Oh, looking in my window

Antagonist, antagonist

Do I scream?

Uh-uh, you can forget that

I'm casin'

Shadow chasin'

Face to face with Jason

Swinging wildly in the dark

Embark to boltin' down the hallway

Emphasis on menacing nemesis from Genesis, da one dem call, "Antagonist"

It's just you and me boy

His three main objectives - steal, kill and destroy

Not of this world

The principality, I wrestled

Conditioned apparition who jaunted my whole position

What to do?

It ain't over

Ain't no way this is through

Was I...was I up to unmask the task without crew?

Round two:

Slanging prayer like a crack dealer

To release a feeler

Hands shaking like a faith healer

Take that!

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

You big and bad to infiltrate my pad

Let's finish this once and for all

Antagonize me in the kitchen, you versus me and Adonai

Exciting finish

Grueling fight to the death

From my right side he vanish, reappear on my left

He thinks somehow his trickery will gain him the victory

Deceived, fooled into believing his own imagery

Antagonist, antagonist squeezing on my game plan

Abuse, no use, fight the titan build up

Just when I get lose, the door shut

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half

The antagonist has got me locked in the room, the door shuts behind me

It'll be morning before they find me

I hear a fiendish laugh 'cause I'm still giving half...
