[Verse 1]
I've got a sharp stick I keep in my pocket
I speak volumes, never utter a word
When you strike a match, a fire will happen
But the line between the smoke and the flames get blurred

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you see the writin' on the wall?
(The writin' on the wall)
You're in way over your head
You're gonna drown in the things that you said

[Chorus]
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
But words are cheap
But lies are big to take
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
And all your words are to debate today

[Verse 2]
It's a paradox, a mystery, a riddle
A door in your face and only I have the key
Do understand, you'll be caught in the middle
Caught in a web by being spun by me
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you see the writin' on the wall?
(The writin' on the wall)
Just a victim of your own conceit
The architect of your own defeat

[Chorus]
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
But words are cheap
But lies are big to take
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
And all your words are to debate today

[Bridge]
Never walk away from a fight that's worth fightin'
Never hesitate when you know you're gonna act
Never waste your words on a fool who won't listen
Never sell your soul 'cause you'll never buy it (Back)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
But words are cheap
But lies are big to take
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
And all your words are to debate today
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
But words are cheap
But lies are big to take
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
And all your words are to debate today
