lyrics

I, alone on the road, master of the game
Change, for king and country, never to be the same

I'll cross the globe whilst dodging nightmares,
Chance the key to rid this world of hate,
And yet still I wonder, what's my fate?

Chorus:
Will they see me coming?
What can they do?
They'll never know the weight that I tow
The unbearable bliss of running the risk

Blood of my brothers, a lie the land of the free
Outlaw to my country, if only they could see

The more I fight, the more I witness
The more I see how deep the evil goes
It only serves to fuel my fire, and so it grows

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONE

supported by 24 fans who also own “Running the Risk”

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
