Bypassed the day I can hear them coming

They walk round my door and speak of their coming

My trial awaits got nowhere to run

My only words how soon you have come



(And) I think about what you told me

(When) I was about to join in



Defy only if you have a way to resist the lies

Decline only if you have the intention of taking this advice



Who brought me here this place is familiar

Where houses are black under the sun

Strangers pass on streets with strange names

All I can think is how soon they have come



(And) I think about what you told me

(When) I was about to join in



Defy only if you have a way to resist the lies

Decline only if you have the intention of taking this advice

Apply only if you're not afraid to see your spirit die

Retreat only if you dare not hear yourself say goodbye



Look at me now they have cut my hair

It's a long way back

They kicked me down and I could not rise

I will never arrive



Look at me now they have cut my hair

It's a long way back

They kicked me down and I could not rise

I will never arrive



Defy only if you have a way to resist the lies

Decline only if you have the intention of taking this advice



Look at me now they have cut my hair

It's a long way back

They kicked me down and I could not rise

I will never arrive
