Truce Lyrics

Like a freight train blow to the chest
You taste the backhand slap from God
But you say that nothing's new
You've lived a life of pain and lossThe scars you bare attest
To the trials you've overcome
But proud, you plant your feet
Where stronger men had to runWhat do you feel inside
Under the wheels of life?
A truce forgotten, a truce erased
This heart you've opened
Has already been replacedWoke from a heavy sleep
With a call that broke you the news
You had to hear it twice
And both times it ripped
And pierced you throughSo now you stand alone
Looking down upon this mess
Another day creeps by, yes
Another day, another testWhat do you feel inside

Under the wheels of life?
A truce forgotten, a truce erased
This heart you've opened
Has already been replacedWhat you've gained from this life
Is nothing, dues remain
Take or give, makes no difference
You still feel the shameWhat do you feel inside
Under the wheels of life?
A truce forgotten, a truce erased
This heart you've opened
Has already been replaced
