I would talk about principles and mouth my beliefs And say what we're doing is wrong I would stumble on through all the good I can teach How, slowly, we're getting it done I would talk about action, how we'll take a stand The rock through the window, the bomb in my hand I was searching for the wrecking ball to reconcile the message I received Could I save them all and cut - could I cut off the leash? Could I ever let those wicked things be? Could I watch them fall, their gods and all, as we fill the street? Could I ever think we'd really have them beat? The guard on the mountain, the guns in the sand, The pig in the pulpit, the lord of the land? I was looking for the movement or the passion that we thought would never leave But it's hard when you're waiting alone and the help that you need is yet to arrive Then it's gone and it starts back again and it feels like it's new, like it's different this time Now the signs are gone, they're moving on, it's hard when you're old Oh this time, I really don't know I'm lying low and waiting for the moment we'll go Change this world we promised below And so we were bound to - or so we demand And so it was destined - or so it was planned I was taken as the messenger - the messenger for words I don't believe I was taken as the messenger - the messenger for words I still believe

All that's on my mind are thoughts of decay bittersweetness when summer ends trying to recall where we went astray Caught up in the crowd and sparkling lights - does it leave you every night? Linger around as if it could stay I'm at the edge of empire when you hold me I feel it in your arms tonight This vicious state won't let you go Neighbourhood star is leaving at dark defection from their hearts I will protect you here from their talk Tell you the plan, you must understand they'll destroy you if they can - sabotage's waiting far down these tracks I'm at the edge of empire when you hold me I feel it in your arms tonight This vicious state won't let you go All you endure for your continued allure

Don’t, don’t you dare think that it’s off Tomorrow, you’ll rest a man of sly ways Hollow, hollowed and reined your sly ways Nothing in what you know and your mistakes Caught - all your songs do no good But sing on, they love your voice, I know Sing on, who’s got a choice, it seems so slow You’ll watch it go and you alone Pray that it’s what you’ve been told: Empty, cold and alone, vacant Empty, absent of all that's sacred Peace never will come to you again Wherever you'll be taken An end of your own making You, you’ll watch it go You, and you alone Now you know where you belong Now you know where you belong Now you know where you belong Go-
