Once I had my heroes
And once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
They turned it inside out
Truth was not so comfortable, no
And mothers taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
Fathers taught us boundaries
Beyond which we must go
To find the secrets promised us, yeah
That's when I reached for my revolver
The spirit fights to find a way
A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
Crying whispers screaming muted pain
Tonight the sky is empty
But that is nothing new
As dead eyes look upon us
And they tell me we're nothing but slaves
