[Words by Steven Sagala, Music by Steve Stell.]



Walking through the shallow-filled escape

As we have seen it many times before

Right on towards the resolution

We fall within the tides of evolution

To mock the tyrants - it's the essence of man

And to conquer it within our hands

Right on towards the resolution

We fall within the tides of evolution



We await the day

For another time where we can fall in line



We are the ones who are in control

It's the reality within the role

All these faces like you've never seen

The acting parts within you and me

Now we are waiting for the sign

It's the truth within the line

All these faces like you've never seen

The acting parts within you and me



Narrow minded the feverish stance

The pseudo-blind romance

Holding on in desperation

We fall within the halls of desolation

Deviate the means until the end

Reverse the sequence and take a stand

Holding on in desperation

We fall within the halls of desolation



The lucid design of a dying race

Tell me where you stand in this great big space

Scripted and obscure with words unbound

Within these words the secrets shall be found



Defy the darkness here

Defy the darkness as it draws near



The struggle now unfolds as the millions in death await

Let's break the silence



[Lead: Stell]



We are the ones who are in control

It's the reality within the role

All these faces like you've never seen

The acting parts within you and me

Now we are waiting for the sign

It's the truth within the line

All these faces like you've never seen

The acting parts within you and me

We await the day

The acting parts within you and me
