[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Sunrise is acid, the air is thick with dread, Another cycle spinning, counting the living dead. I wear the iron collar, the mark upon my hand, Executing judgment across this broken land. The contract signed in fever, the ink drawn from my vein, Now I am bound forever, enduring the endless rain. [Pre-Chorus] The scales are tipped, the hourglass is dry, Hear the thunder rolling in the blackened sky. The Master calls, the work can never wait, Kick down the door and seal the victim's fate! [Chorus] DUE PROCESS! I am the harvester of dread, DUE PROCESS! Taking the breath from the dying head. The price is paid, the balance must be clear, I collect the souls for the Devil's dues this year! [Verse 2] My ledger is burning, stained with names I cannot read, They beg for absolution, planting the useless seed. The scent of fear is fuel, the promise of the fire, I wield the chain of torment, fulfilling the dark desire. No time for contemplation, no room for regret, Just punch the clock in Hades, I haven't finished yet. [Pre-Chorus] The scales are tipped, the hourglass is dry, Hear the thunder rolling in the blackened sky. The Master calls, the work can never wait, Kick down the door and seal the victim's fate! [Chorus] DUE PROCESS! I am the harvester of dread, DUE PROCESS! Taking the breath from the dying head. The price is paid, the balance must be clear, I collect the souls for the Devil's dues this year! [Bridge] (Guitar Solo begins - fast shredding) A thousand years I walked the path of light, One moment's weakness sealed me into night. Now the currency is screams, the only wage I know, Just the endless, searing emptiness below! (Solo concludes with heavy breakdown) [Chorus] DUE PROCESS! I am the harvester of dread, DUE PROCESS! Taking the breath from the dying head. The price is paid, the balance must be clear, I collect the souls for the Devil's dues this year! [Outro] Dues are paid... The infernal ledger screams... Collected... In full... [Heavy feedback and drum decay]
