You have longed for a new morning
Begged for the light of another day
But your fears are there to greet you
And you know that they are here to stay
Here to stay... Yeah!
When you stare into the abyss inside you
And peer into the nethermost recesses of your mind
The ghouls that torment your conscience have come to guide you
Why do you find them so bitter and unkind?
So unkind!
You can't turn the tide
Or smother the guilt deep inside
Settle your dues, for there shall be hell to pay
For you know you've long gone astray
You can't turn the tide!
You can't turn the tide!
You can't turn the tide!
You can't turn the tide!
Mesmerized by the ruin in all that gleams
You walk the beaten path of your crippled dreams
Do not test the tempter, for he is not what he seems
Take the long road to the one that redeems
Your crippled dreams!
You can't turn the tide
Or smother the guilt deep inside
Settle your dues, for there shall be hell to pay
You know you've long gone astray
Begged for the light of another day
But your fears are there to greet you
And you know that they are here to stay
Here to stay... Yeah!
When you stare into the abyss inside you
And peer into the nethermost recesses of your mind
The ghouls that torment your conscience have come to guide you
Why do you find them so bitter and unkind?
So unkind!
You can't turn the tide
Or smother the guilt deep inside
Settle your dues, for there shall be hell to pay
For you know you've long gone astray
You can't turn the tide!
You can't turn the tide!
You can't turn the tide!
You can't turn the tide!
Mesmerized by the ruin in all that gleams
You walk the beaten path of your crippled dreams
Do not test the tempter, for he is not what he seems
Take the long road to the one that redeems
Your crippled dreams!
You can't turn the tide
Or smother the guilt deep inside
Settle your dues, for there shall be hell to pay
You know you've long gone astray
