If I ride on the rails
|
I shall ride them alone
|
And if I need all this pain
|
I will find it alone
|
If I'm wanted for leaving
|
I will leave here alone
|
And if I can't resist this
|
Then I am unfit to go on
|
|
A simple solution is all I require
|
If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free
|
Let me be free
|
|
If the strain on your conscience gets under your skin
|
And leads you to making a sacrifice
|
Sacrifice me
|
Let there be peace
|
|
To the grave from the cradle
|
We don't rock anymore
|
Now I stand here with both feet
|
Planted firm on the floor
|
And if you're planning a future
|
Of indefinite grace
|
You'd better start removing
|
The lines of deceit from your face
|
|
A simple conclusion is all I require
|
If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free
|
Let me be free
|
|
And all of the hypocrites lie through their teeth
|
Talk about making a sacrifice
|
Sacrifice me
|
Let there be peace
|
|
How much longer can all this go on?
|
How many more choices can one person have?
|
|
And all of the questions with no proper answers
|
Continue continue
|
Have to go on have to go on have to go on
|
Should I bend down and worship the ground
|
Of the beautiful people who live without flaws?
|
Success is a virtue to share with the world
|
But failure's a lesson that's best learned alone
|
Respect is a virtue that strong men command
|
But when words become weapons
|
There'll be peace in the valley of death when I rise
|
Peace in the valley of death when I rise
|
