[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]
|
|
Paranoia slowly starts to take effect.
|
His huge fortune has created many enemies.
|
In haste he searches for solitude.
|
Secluded from the outside world, he lives in a fragile sense of security.
|
Locked away he hopes to find peace of mind,
|
but instead he's haunted by the terrifying images in his dreams.
|
Images of those whose lives he so mercilessly helped to destroy.
|
|
[Verse]
|
All of that money you've made
|
From all of those souls with their lives they've paid now
|
Lost your pride, locked inside
|
Where's the light at the end of the road
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Blame and sorrow
|
No more day, just, tomorrow
|
Close the door, turn the key
|
Lock the misery away!
|
You're living in an ivory tower
|
|
[Verse]
|
All of the guilt you should feel when all of the torment you caused was real
|
Truth you've found, changed your made
|
At the end of the road there's a light
|
|
[Bridge]
|
So many places, hidden lies, saddened faces
|
Close the door take the key, try and throw it away far, far away
|
|
[Chorus]
|
In a solitary day
|
There's a solitary point of view
|
Hide the fear away!
|
That's the price you have to pay
|
|
[Middle-8]
|
They're coming to get you, put boards on your windows
|
It won't take 'em long 'till they find out a way
|
Don't sleep stay awake now, look over your shoulder
|
Your enemy's coming to take you away!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
In a solitary day, there's a solitary point of view
|
Hide your fear away, it strips away the good in you
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
