about

"See this pride. See how high. I am what I do. I do, I break, I rejoice. I don't judge you for dying. I find no shame, in duty, in law. Just taking care of business I."

lyrics

Breaking bonds with gravity, I fly.
Make the lands fall away from me
Lands fall away from me.
Ever chasing the sky.
Prowling the bottomless and ever lasting.
I see it all but I am chained to this domain.
I feel the weight of my duty way up here.
Way up here with all the fallen.
The owl at the gate of this hell, this hell, this hell.

Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Watch the crossing of that line.
I call it trespass you'll be dying.
I'm just taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Watch the crossing of that line.
I call it trespass you'll be dying.
I'm just taking care of business I.

Hold on tight, I'll bring you high, don't you cry.
The lands fall on you.
Lands will fall on you.
Ever chasing your dream.
The building of everlasting loyalty.
I see the code I feel the rot from your desire.
I see the end come to you from way up here.
Way up here with all the fallen.
The owl at the gate of this hell, this hell, this hell.


Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Watch the crossing of that line.
I call it trespass you'll be dying.
I'm just taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Watch the crossing of that line.
I call it trespass you'll be dying.
I'm just taking care of business I.


(Watch the crossing of that line)

Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Watch the crossing of that line.
I call it trespass you'll be dying.
I'm just taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Best be taking care of business I.
From way up here.
Watch the crossing of that line.
I call it trespass you'll be dying.
I'm just taking care of business I.
