The larger the island of knowledge  the longer is the shoreline of wonder    Dangerous when dead  Fatal when misled  If hopelessness takes place instead, then  Dreams are dangerous when dead    All the carnal beauty is but skin deep  In spite of the fact that grace comes not dirt cheap  All hail the death of a sailor  Cause nothing beats a try but a failure  Now it's time to stand and to wake up  and realize I've been drinking from a broken cup    Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat  Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat    If you were born to be shot, you'll never drown  allthough it means not that you won't go down  It suddenly have come to my senses  It's time to batten up my defenses    Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat  Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat    All the carnal beauty is but skin deep  In spite of the fact that grace comes not dirt cheap    Jewels are few  and far between  but they're not unseen    If you were born to be shot, you'll never drown  allthough it means not that you won't go down  It suddenly have come to my senses  It's time to batten up my defenses    Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat  Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat    Jewels are few  and far between  but they're not unseen    The larger the island of knowledge  the longer is the shoreline of wonder    Dangerous when dead  When hopelessness comes instead  Dangerous when dead  Fatal are dreams when they are dead
