[Words by Steven Sagala, Music by Steve Stell.] Walking through the shallow-filled escape As we have seen it many times before Right on towards the resolution We fall within the tides of evolution To mock the tyrants - it's the essence of man And to conquer it within our hands Right on towards the resolution We fall within the tides of evolution We await the day For another time where we can fall in line We are the ones who are in control It's the reality within the role All these faces like you've never seen The acting parts within you and me Now we are waiting for the sign It's the truth within the line All these faces like you've never seen The acting parts within you and me Narrow minded the feverish stance The pseudo-blind romance Holding on in desperation We fall within the halls of desolation Deviate the means until the end Reverse the sequence and take a stand Holding on in desperation We fall within the halls of desolation The lucid design of a dying race Tell me where you stand in this great big space Scripted and obscure with words unbound Within these words the secrets shall be found Defy the darkness here Defy the darkness as it draws near The struggle now unfolds as the millions in d**h await Let's break the silence [Lead: Stell] We are the ones who are in control It's the reality within the role All these faces like you've never seen The acting parts within you and me Now we are waiting for the sign It's the truth within the line All these faces like you've never seen The acting parts within you and me We await the day The acting parts within you and me
