Wide awake, wide awake   Hear the silence hiss   Will you break, will you break?   Iron binds your wrist      In your face, in your face   See the others flinch   Iron law, iron claw   Don't you move an inch      Strike towards the one you love, throw the dark ones down   Velvet fist, the iron glove, the lost one now is found   Don't you ask me why and when, I will never tell   Life was so muck stranger then but that's all gone to hell      Make a start, make a start   Open up the door   In the dark, in the dark   Who could ask for more?      You are blind, you are blind   Wish that you were deaf   In the mind, in your mind   Hear the serpent's breath      Fight the demons in your head, watch until the dawn   We all heard the words we said, we all braved the storm   Never show the ones within what we do or sell   Life is so much safer now but it's all gone to hell, oh      In the night, in the night   Hear your shadow breathe   Feel the bite, feel the bite   No one will believe      By your side, by your side   Beware of shadows now   Kiss your bride, kiss the bride   Seal the marriage now      You must be much braver, boy, than you ever dreamed   Or your world will be destroyed by the small and mean   You must stand, and fight them hard, you must never run   You must be a shining star, do what must be done   Don't you ask me why and how, you must lift the spell   Life could be much more than this unless we've gone to hell
