about

'Hold The Line' kicks off Pennan's 12th full-length release, 'Arcade'.

lyrics

Got my fingers taped
Across my shoulders
Your full weight is draped
Around my neck
With a jacket flung
On a boulder
All our hopes are hung
By a thread
There you come
Dig in your heels there’s no turning back
On the run
Closing in press on full attack
Halfway done
Holding firm cut back all the slack
Feeling stung
Shake it off break it off
Breath illuminates
Night grows colder
Shadows they retrace
My footsteps
Match extinguishes
Watch it smolder
Strike another spark
Light again
There you stand
Hold the line there’s no backing out
Flames are fanned
Eye to eye slowly turnabout
Underhand
Check your gut no time to lose doubt
Punches land
Shrug it off slug it off
Final hope escapes
In the twilight
Two feet nimbly traipse
On a beam
Triggering a switch
Caught in crossfire
Future move is stitched
In a dream
There you plot
Tangled in sordid web you’ve spun
Pick your spots
Doublecheck watch it come undone
Take your shots
Pinpoint them there ain’t no rerun
Sold and bought
Brush it off turn it off
