So many things they used to say, I hear them again and again So many clever words sounded in vain Serenity's been lost in the way somehow, somewhere It's now or never the time has come - the stake's been made
Nothing to lose, no space behind for a step back So take a deep breath and prepare yourself to face things As they are - right in front of you We've been waiting too long for this statement to be made.
Make up your mind. Now or never. Stop pretending, make it stop now Rise up from your bleeding knees and speak up speak up or you will regret that
You are the one to bring me back to the ground Always failing always inventing the new reasons to Cut my thoughts while they are gaining strength Too weak to protest too weak to protest too afraid to say it straight!
Take me away from ugliness of my empty days - They stay the same, all in vain
Force myself to see through the lies - It is burning my eyes I will not be a part of you - I won't be a part of you
There are so many, there are so many of us cry - Being cold we deny There are too many, too many of us keep silence till we die I feel mistreated I can't live this way
The spiral's closing in around me It's smothering my will to be, it's smothering me Once in four years you care about me 'bout what I think and what I say and it's making me sick Help me to find just one good reason not to Leave you here choking on your gold, leave you here bleeding
With corruption we stand border lines are drawn And nothing at all can disturb control
