This is too close, far too close You just might Be blinded by this crown's Golden light You just might Be putting yourself in the flame Which can only burn and shame
Our lawless life Just seems so compelling Because you too could Enoble yourself Through rebelling But what good are they Ideals soaked in blood What good are they Buried in the mud
To each his ground On which to flourish To each his storm in which to perish But now that we've shed our clothes And shared our oaths There's no way back for you Don't kid yourself We'd rather be mad than delighted You'd rather be entertained Than enlightened There's no way back to you
To each his ground On which to flourish To each his storm in which to perish To each his ground To each his ground
To each his ground On which to flourish To each his storm in which to perish To each his ground To each his ground
This is too close, far too close You just might Be blinded by this crown's Golden light You just might Be putting yourself in the flame
