Lyrics:
I've spoken my piece, please leave me
Let me sleep
I'm not a saviour, can't be a judge
I will not enter one's life as such
Is it the burden of one who speaks his mind
To then defend it with all of his time?
My guilts, my instincts, they guide me
My beliefs
And thus I see mine as a just cause
Full knowing my compensation has it's flaws
Aware of the fact that I am just a man
Accepting of the strength and wisdom you might have
I'm imperfect...and just a man
I'm imperfect...I am just a man, human
I've spoken my piece, please leave me
Let me sleep
I live and love outspoken and that's my fate
Ignoring the oppurtunity curse that's hate
Stating it for the record as is my right
I still pursue the cleanest mpst righteous life

[braumenheimer]

Somebody I knew had that small record of theirs with the Final Conflict sticker on the guitar, and that tape of theirs "A Thought Crusade". He said somebody got drunk and drove a car and died or something like that at the end.

I've spoken my piece, please leave me,
Let me sleep,
I'm not a saviour, can't be a judge,
I will not enter one's life as such,
Is it the burden of one who speaks his mind,
To then defend it with all of his time?
My guilts, my instincts, they guide me,
My beliefs,
And thus I see mine as a just cause,
Full knowing my compensation has it's flaws,
Aware of the fact that I am just a man,
Accepting of the strength and wisdom you might have,
I'm imperfect...and just a man,
I'm imperfect...I am just a man, human.
I've spoken my piece, please leave me,
Let me sleep,
I live and love outspoken and that's my fate,
Ignoring the oppurtunity curse that's hate,
Stating it for the record as is my right,
I still pursue the cleanest mpst righteous life.

I always wondered why the bass drum is so loud in the mix for this track.
