I've been trying to participate in masquerades
The throne's been empty for too long

The paradise for those who play along
And the fortunate ones

I've been listening to the voice at night and he is right
I am the chosen one

And my shepherd, he has paid my Prynne (related to an english purtitant leader)
I will go and smile

I've been begging for the public eye, now watch me fly
Can you see what I've become

So expose me, I shall be released
From the flesh-pain so sweet

I was walking through the valley of the living dead
Didn't help the tears I shed

Always chasing those elusive dreams
A drop of blood in the street
