Once I had my heroes   Once I had my dream   But all of that is changed now   They've turned things inside out   The truth is not that comfortable, no      And mother taught us patience   The virtues of restraint   And father taught us boundaries   Beyond which we must go   To find the secrets promised us, yeah      That's when I reach for my revolver   That's when it all gets blown away   That's when I reach for my revolver   The spirit fights to find its way      A friend of mine once told me   His one and only aim   To build a giant castle   And live inside his name   Cry and whispers sing in muted pain      That's when I reach for my revolver   That's when it all gets blown away   That's when I reach for my revolver   The spirit fights to find its way      Tonight the sky is empty   But that is nothing new   Its dead eyes look upon us   And they tell me   We're nothing   But slaves (That's when I reach for my revolver)   Just slaves (That's when I reach for my revolver)   That's when I reach for my revolver   That's when I reach for my revolver   That's when I reach for my revolver   That's when I reach for my revolver
