If they came and took away

Everything you are today

Could you find another way

All my feelings undermined

Urged to follow strict design

And I won't cross that line



Just an effigy

What I used to be

And everything that seemed real

Was just a dream



Will you side with faith or fear?

Try to save all that's dear

They might scream, but I can't hear

I've got my own cross to bare

I've still got reason to care

And in the end, I'm no worse for wear



Just an effigy

What I used to be

And everything that seems real

Is just a dream



Will you side with faith or fear?

Try to save all that's dear

Will you side with faith or fear?

Try to save all that is dear



Just an effigy

What I used to be

And everything that seems real

Is just a dream
