They fall in line One at a time Ready to play (I can't see them anyway) No time to lose We've got to move Steady your hand (I am losing sight again) Fire your guns It's time to run Blow me away (I will stay, unless I may) After the fall We'll shake it off Show me the way Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven, when we die I am a shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all There's nothing left So save your breath Lying in wait (Caught inside this tidal wave) Your cover's blown No where to go Holding your fate (Lonely I will walk alone) Fire your guns It's time to run Blow me away (I will stay, unless I may) After the fall We'll shake it off Show me the way Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven, when we die I am a shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all Wanted it back (Don't fight me now) Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven, when we die I am a shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all Save us all
