The Strength to Go On
Welcome homeWhile awaythey have tampered with the locksand your things they rearranged
"We propose a better way"Said the note they left behindin their wake of disarrayYou fell in place
Don't fall asleepThey'll find us hereI know a place to disappearAs a voice proclaimed
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies,what we know is almost nothing at allBut we are what we are till the day we dieor till we don't have the strength to go on,till we don't have the strength to go oh-oh-on
Let us cryLet us beLet us open up our heartsWithout fear of anything
Faith aloneIs all we needTo traverse this burning bridgeNow before it gets too lateYou claim "it's fine"
But the heart revealsWhat smiles betrayYour sad sad eyes gave you awayAnd don't you know
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies,what we know is almost nothing at allBut we are what we are till the day we dieor till we don't have the strength to go on,till we don't have the strength to go oh-oh-on
Our shoulders bear an awful weightbut still we trudge on just the sameOur colors run then leave a stainThey blacken our once honest nameBut how can we argue, tell meover the fury and the fire?How many times can we tell you that weare not like you, we see right throughyour poor disguise that fails to foolthe wary eye that's trained on you?
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies,what we know is almost nothing at allBut we are what we are till the day we dieor till we don't have the strength to go on,till we don't have the strength to go oh-oh-on
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies,what we know is almost nothing at allBut we are what we are till the day we dieor till we don't have the strength to go on,till we don't have the strength to go oh-onYeah we don't have the strength to go oh-oh-on
