Waiting for the darkness to fall We dream Fighting for the hopeless cause We sing On our way down the one-way road We dance Charmed by the delusion we missed The last chance
The world is mesmerized by reassuring lies We lull ourselves to sleep Smiling faces with ropes around their necks We laugh but never weep
Burning through the days we never stop and never care Rushing to demise in pointless race that no-one wins We drink and celebrate and hope this feast will never end Pretending to ignore the shivering touch of decay
But in the dark we feel the winter breath There's no escape from the cold embrace
