Combat - Temporal Punishment lyrics

Opening the gate to the past and future Shackled and bound you sit Banished to another time For a crime you didn’t commit The gate’s one way so there’s no going back Time to escape’s running out They inject you with dilation buffers Tag you to track you like a rainbow trout CHORUS x2: Temporal The era to fit the crime Punishment Brings new meaning to doing time As the gate spools up, starts the rift It waxes into your veins Suddenly the power flickers and dies And the distortion’s effect wanes Slipping off the shackles You escape on borrowed time The GPS you’ve stolen Has suddenly gone offline CHORUS x2: Temporal The era to fit the crime Punishment Brings new meaning to doing time LEAD The city streets seem unfamiliar Where have all the people gone You realize the portal did its job You’ve been displaced after all As you grasp your irreversible fate You wonder where in time you dropped With nothing, no one, isolated You’d rather be in hell and rot CHORUS x2: Temporal The era to fit the crime Punishment Brings new meaning to doing time LEAD
