Where we go down, down under the ground,
running numbers we have found, buying freedom by the pound
We're not free, lost our liberty, the face you see, is stained hypocrisy,
you're not free, by paying us to be, the rats of fear and glee, repairing destiny
Deeper down, with this demented frown,
stolen from a clown, its chasing us around
You can't live, no prerogative, you see me give, a costly relative
Say you'll strive, keeping it alive, it felt good at the time, but now it doesn't rhyme
Upon the game, I place the blame
about the breaks and what it takes
of the cost, and what is lost
do the time and free your mind
Where we rebound, we're fighting not to drown,
your silence is a sound, with still voices all around
You must try, chose to do or die, the cost is high, it's paid without a sigh,
takes a while, cleaning up the lie, with time to analyse, and then to criticise
It's here we'll stand, kettle's playing in the round,
we know the cause is damned, as only some will take the stand
Hold the line, don't forget the rhyme, peace in time, a foolish paradigm,
hold that smile, it may be a while, pain is back in style, never in denial
Upon the game, I place the blame
about the breaks and what it takes
of the cost, and what is lost
do the time and free your mind
Where we go down, down under the ground
buying freedom, buying freedom by the pound
buying freedom, buying freedom for me and you
and me and you, and me and you, and me and you
their selling freedom, their selling our freedom, what are we to do?
Upon the game, I place the blame
about the breaks and what it takes
of the cost, and what is lost
do the time and free your mind
We did the time, to free our minds

Pale bring
elements of hard rock, post rock, heavy metal and grunge
and bind them into a set of powerful
and punctuated songs;
a melting pot of tribalistic fury, brooding presence and
vitriolic angst.
Their songs are of pounding and passionate, soaring,
grinding rock; lyrically flavored with visceral and
impending words of despair, faithlessness, rebellion
and smashed illusions....more
