A daring step

The waiting crowd

A hungry child

must learn to bow





Yes, this is all the bitter truth 

The gritty sand beneath your feet 

The taste of failure on your mouth

This is a game of hurt





Yes, this is all the bitter truth

Yes, this is cold reality

This is what you have come to





Yes, this is all the bitter truth

Yes, every gesture was in vain

This game is harsh and you have lost

You know it all comes down to this:

Pathetic lies and vanity

The taste of sand inside your mouth





A daring step

The wanton smile

A desperate man

Tells desperate lies





Yes, this is all the bitter truth 

The gritty sand beneath your feet 

The taste of failure on your mouth
