Once I had my heroes 

Once I had my dreams 

But all of that is changed now 

They've turned things inside out 

The truth is not so comfortable, no 

And mother taught us patience 

The virtues of restraint 

And father taught us boundaries 

Beyond which we must go 

To find the secrets promised us, yeah 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

That's when it all gets blown away 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

The spirit fights to find its way 

A friend of mine once told me 

His one and only aim 

To build a giant castle 

And live inside his name 

Cry and whispers sing in muted pain 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

That's when it all gets blown away 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

The spirit fights to find its way 

Tonight the sky is empty 

But that is nothing new 

Its dead eyes look upon us 

And they tell us we're nothing but slaves 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

(...but slaves) 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

That's when I reach for my revolver 

That's when I reach for my revolver
