Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus, to the lepers in your head?

CAW EP
I turn up the trouble 'till it gets real loud I feel so much better that way I'm gonna mess with your mind, cause I know that I can See how much I can mess with you, yeaaaaaah!
I'm gonna rock, gonna roll, gonna go toe to toe Drop like a clock, now I'm out of control Step a little closer, close to my fire Trouble's my drug, takes me higher and higher Turn up the music, light up the crowd Turn up the gas, cause it can't be too loud You know it's religion, and I'll show you the way Drop to your knees and join when I say...
What were you thinkin', takin' me on Better men have fallen before History teaches and I wrote the book... Well I'll show your ego the door, yeah!
I'm gonna rock, gonna roll, gonna go toe to toe Drop like a clock, now I'm out of control Step a little closer, close to my fire Trouble's my drug, takes me higher and higher Turn up the music, light up the crowd Turn up the gas, cause it can't be too loud You know it's religion, and I'll show you the way Drop to your knees and join when I say...
I'm gonna mess with your man Cause you know that I'm trouble Step a little closer Close to that fire Troubles my drug Take me higher and higher Turn up the music, light up the crowd Turn up the gas, cause it can't be too loud
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle, that all things do come at a price, that there's an ebb and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we went through did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me. A promise that, someday, we'll see each other again.
