She caught a glimpse of those who wished to sail away The spectre of a dream to chase a better day The promise of a brand new start
And she always said the visions left a mark The remnants of a stain tattooed upon her heart She watched them as they moved together
Formed in pain, spirits gone Like armies slain, yet marching on Legions grow, faces change Yet after all the chaos, darkness still remains She’s never the same...
One more revolution turn Watch the madhouse burn Carry on, carry on Rising angel in the ashes Shimmer in the show Shining in the afterglow Fire falls from heaven down below
To gaze upon the ones she’d never seen An architect of life repairing broken dreams With nothing but the gift of time
She dared to be the first to cross the line Reflections of a selfless way and altered mind A past in shadow left so far behind
Behind their eyes Thrown away like wreckage for some other day Compromised, to escape Forgotten no more Minds of millions wide awake It’s never too late...
One more revolution turn Watch the madhouse burn Carry on, carry on Rising angel in the ashes Shimmer in the show Shining in the afterglow Fire falls from heaven down below
Every life a choice to embrace Either looking on or turning away To extend a hand of mercy and grace And to carry on Hold the ones that the others denied And to walk through ashes right by their side And to be the angel, ever abide As they carry on

One more revolution turn Watch the madhouse burn Carry on, carry on Rising angel in the ashes Shimmer in the show Shining in the afterglow Fire falls from heaven down below
