Curtain call, lights and stage reveal the wreckage
Every crystal ball just reveals a different message
To those blinded by their pride
Battle cries, hear the baitzuos from a distance
As they're marching by, get in line for your attrition
But don't let them see your side
You'll be struck down, you will be rejected
You'll be told "son get up and soldier on"
Brother instead, commandeer the wreckage
Get on your feet and then swear you're right
Fall in line, stare into the light that blinds you
Force them at your side, 'till they're blinded right behind you
So the cycle remains alive
Silhouettes casting shadows on the border
Spinning pirouettes, every turn another corner
Are you blinded by your pride?
You'll be struck down, you will be rejected
You'll be told "son get up and soldier on"
Brother instead, commandeer the wreckage
Get on your feet and then swear you're right
You'll be struck down, you will be rejected
You'll be told "son get up and soldier on"
Brother instead, commandeer the wreckage
Get on your feet and then swear you're right
