lyrics

They spend your time convincing the nation,
That it's a crime to want the other inspiration,
Deep inside they get into a cell just like an infection (yeah)
But it's just a ride, he thinks he's got his protection there.

Some just think that your there to watch,
But why do you try to lead the way,
When that's simply aint what your here to do,
Leading good soulful people to somewhere dark.

Your a familiar face,
To all those people all around,
You get all over the place,
All this time we never knew,
All the things that you say,
Always sounded like you'd been supportive,
But at the end of the day, It all gets reported.

That's how much they're scared of a revolution,
That's how much they want to take control,
But there's something beautiful on the horizon,
Worth a million times more than their dreams of power and gold.

I said what I thought,
But you never really would agree,
And I just thought
'How could you lead people into excuses' ,
And just when I had it all to do,
You'd say 'not right now' ,
And I saw through you.

That's how much they'r scared of a revolution,
That's how much they need us more than we need them,
But there's something beautiful on the horizon,
Worth a million times more that their dreams of power and gold.

It's people like you,
Being used for power against us all,
I think I wouldn't like to feel,
That kinda numb feeling having sold your soul,
You shouldn't play with your mind,
Like you'v played with our lives,
Your heart is gathering it all,
One day every truth will unfold,

Our heart and mind awakens and it happens to us all,
Don't let it get so much that when it hits you that you'l fall,
Cuz the way he's going he's already falling down,
Grassing and informing, dragging magic underground,

That's how much their scared of a revolution,
That's how much they'l try to take your soul,
But there's something beautiful there on the horizon,
Worth a million times more that their dreams of power and gold.
