We can't keep something alive

That has no heart

Doing what is good

Is not doing what is right

So the beat goes on



Time has come to be a hero

See your name in bright lights

Swept away with grand illusions

Force fed visions of fame

Your guard is down

You are the hunted

In a corporate world

That has no shame

Contracts signed all hail the new kings

Kept in a state of eternal bliss to be



Stranded like thousands that went before me

Stranded but I will never lay down come on



[Chorus :]

Break out, rise up from oblivion

Rise up, sinners an saints

Break out, rise up from oblivion

Rise up, black sheep shall survive



Bathing in short living glory

Quickly becoming a faded memory

Drowning in the hidden vortex

Overflowed with ruined lives

Beaten by the glamour forces

*harvest fruitful lays between the lies

This phoenix rises out from the ashes

From a light that never goes out



Stranded like thousands that went before me

Stranded but I will never lay down come on



[Chorus (1x)]



Stranded like thousands that went before me

Stranded but I will never lay down

Stranded like thousands that went before me

Stranded but I will never lay down come on



[Chorus (2x)]
