An echo in the corridors of time A memory collapsed a fainted will A transcendent crime Spare me all hypocrisy and blame Carve the stones, pave the road That'll lead us all the way home It's written on the walls even on TV In case you haven't noticed It is all for free Ricochet the bullets from the wound Undo what's been done Set new rules make a brand new start But the finger on the trigger of the gun Starts the chain reaction with a purpose A reason still unknown We're like puppets in a dance Waiting for a chance I've seen them, trouble every day Now it's pointing down my way Hidden behind their backs in the camera eye Betraying all that's good with a deceitful lie What has been done? What can be said about their behaviour? They're digging a hole What tools can be used to break their defenses Upon the ageless door in Rome As the king of bitterness and shame The hero returns only to find he's the one they'll blame Sacrificed for youth and common good And then slandered with cruel accusations But the truth will soon unfold Like puppets in a dance Waiting for a chance I've seen them trouble every day Now it's pointing down my way Hidden behind their backs in the camera eye Betraying all that's good with a deceitful lie What has been done? What can be said about their behaviour? They're digging a hole What tools can be used to break their defenses Upon the ageless door in Rome
