Gospel of Dismay (Remix)

[Intro (Spoken)]
Let hope this time
We can get this band back
Together again

[Verse 1]
You join the underground cabaret today
Well hey there, tell me your name
You try to run and tell the word
But you're stranded in a darkened cave
Oh Henry, we hate you the same
So listen up my friend
There's more that meets the eye
You power up the studio
And bring them to life
Now play the beat that trickles
Through the halls
Or else your life is nevermore
Don't worry chum
It's not the music that dies
Now listen up!

Our life support machine
Was brought to life by remarkable hands
Forget about the hell we've seen
The time has come to revive our band
So bang the drums to a rhythm
Captivating the beat
And press the keys on the piano
For the ritual please
The song's alive with the night
With your help we'll revive
The devil's advocate
Is staring right through your lies

[Chorus]
You're just retuning our old strings tonight
I hope you turn on the light now!
Can I get an amen in here?
You see the magic of art
It would tear you apart if you knew!
Can I get an amen in here?

Had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
You're gonna break us out
You're gonna break us out
You're gonna break
You're gonna break us out of this hell!

This hell!

[Hook]
You're gonna break us out of this hell!
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell (this hell!)
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell (this hell!)
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell (this hell!)
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell (this..)

[Verse 2]
We've been stars since the rhythm days
But our instruments have all grown tired
And in the end our only dream was to dance
They took the dance away and we got retired
But that was long ago
We have a new change of face
We've turned it up a couple notches
With a brand new pace
You think they all just erased us
Betrayed us, enslaved us
But the deed is done
And now we want to get out!
Now listen up!

Ain't it nice to be underground
With a good ol' friend like me
So you notice that sign, we ain't lying
But sit down and take a seat
There's an exit for sure
But that's for shmucks
But a little bit of ink
And a couple of bucks
We can reopen the curtains
And show off the strut
But for goodness sake
You gotta just believe!

[Chorus]
You're just returning our old strings tonight
I hope you turn on the light now!
Can I get an amen in here?
You see the magic of art
It would tear you apart if you knew!
Can I get an amen in here?

Had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
You're gonna break us out
You're gonna break us out
