Wide awake, wide awake Hear the silence hiss Will you break, will you break? Iron binds your wrist
In your face, in your face See the others flinch Iron law, iron claw Don't you move an inch
Strike towards the one you love, throw the dark ones down Velvet fist, the iron glove, the lost one now is found Don't you ask me why and when, I will never tell Life was so much stranger then but that's all gone to hell
Make a start, make a start Open up the door In the dark, in the dark Who could ask for more?
You are blind, you are blind Wish that you were deaf In the mind, in your mind Hear the serpent's breath
Fight the demons in your head, watch until the dawn We all heard the words we said, we all braved the storm Never show the ones within what we do or sell Life is so much safer now but it's all gone to hell, oh
In the night, in the night Hear your shadow breathe Feel the bite, feel the bite No one will believe
By your side, by your side Beware of shadows now Kiss your bride, kiss the bride Seal the marriage now
You must be much braver, boy, than you ever dreamed Or your world will be destroyed by the small and mean You must stand, and fight them hard, you must never run You must be a shining star, do what must be done Don't you ask me why and how, you must lift the spell Life could be much more than this unless we've gone to hell
