lyrics

Across the threshold of the traitor's gate
Passing through
But not passing go
The call received with an offer to translate
But you can't
Because you don't know

(Chorus)
The flight has returned again
Disappeared, but not unknown
This time you've been burned again
They turned up the heat
Overcooked, not overthrown

Beckoned through the traitor's gate
Pushed or pulled
It's not in dispute
Only silence from the one who still awaits
Cast out from home
One more recruit

(Bridge)
You're just walking backwards
You don't see the cliff
Keeping up with the herd
But with one foot over the abyss

A new arrival at the traitor's gate
You may have dreamed
But that's not a crime
A passing reference from within the fifth estate
How far will you go
Just to tow the line
