The Second (2021 Remaster) The Stupendium

[Verse 1]
There's a shape in the shadows, there's a chill in the air
But he won't let you get rattled, you won't know that he's there
There's no way to do battle when you're caught unaware

One blink and he'll be gone, and you'll be dead in your chair

Or was he even there? Can you even prepare?

For a reckoning a second into catching the glare
Of a barrel when the bullet's already in the air
Or the chemicals already have your vision impaired?
As you try to place the face of that sommelier
When you're gonna win the race but find the brakes aren't there

On a knife's edge, placed between the fumes and the flare

The last breath with a glove in your hair

He's a master of disguise, he's an artist with a knife
He will catch you by surprise, just a quack and you ignite
There's no faster a demise, were you happy with your life?
'Cause it didn't have the time left to flash before your eyes

[Chorus]
No one ever recalls the second
They first come across 47
Because before you've drawn a breath in
47's got you on the floor forgetting
If you could only pause a second
Can't stall destiny, halt what's meant to be
No protection we, all get reckoned the
Cause of death will be 47
