They said look what's ahead of you
Stare in the eyes of your fear
The world is a cold rock of greed
That the sky wets with tears 
They said too bad if shining
treasures never smiled on us 
Asking time for answers
Is so dangerous 

The voices warned me 
They persisted 
The voices warned me
I resisted

They said don't pray for too much 
You might enjoy what you get 
Luck hates the ones she loves 
And she might love you next 
Never mind if unknown pleasures 
were not sent to us 
asking life for answers
Can be dangerous 

The voices warned me 
I resisted
The voices warned me
They persisted 
The voices warned me 
I resisted
The voices warned me 
They insisted

Walk in line, see it through
Never win, never lose
Hold your breath 
Kill your needs 
Live like death, on your knees
No point counting bruises 
Today's where the truth is 
And that's why I'm living here 

The voices warned me 
I resisted
The voices warned me
They insisted 
The voices warned me 
They persisted 
The voices warned me 
But I, I, I resisted
