Man About Town
For every choice there is an echo
With each act we change the world
Would you choose paradise or perdition?
Come on!
Would you choose paradise or perdition?
You had it tattooed inside my head?
Every memory?
Every last thread?
Bound by chains
I do not yet see
A slave for the request
"Would you kindly?"
I choose more
I choose the impossible
I choose rapture
We all make choices
But in the end our choices make us
The streets were paved with gold
Only anarchy left to behold
We're buried deep under water
Little sister
I'm here to save you
(I'm here to save you)
I will be your rapture
How ironic, this city was founded on choice
When free will here has no voice
I see the ghosts of the past, the suppressed
And the outcast
A flawed mantra since this all began
No gods or kings, only man
My strength is not in steel and fire
That is what the parasites will never understand
There's a time to live and a time to die
A time to build and a time to destroy
The streets were paved with gold
In the end, their minds you controlled
We're buried deep under water
Little sister
I'm here to save you
We're buried deep under water
Little sister
I'm here to save you
"In the end, what separates a man from a slave?
Money? Power?
No, a man chooses
A slave obeys"
The life you stole from them I will return
Giving them the one thing you wouldn't, a chance
A chance to learn
To find love
And to live
A chance to learn
To find love
And to live
With each act we change the world
Would you choose paradise or perdition?
Come on!
Would you choose paradise or perdition?
You had it tattooed inside my head?
Every memory?
Every last thread?
Bound by chains
I do not yet see
A slave for the request
"Would you kindly?"
I choose more
I choose the impossible
I choose rapture
We all make choices
But in the end our choices make us
The streets were paved with gold
Only anarchy left to behold
We're buried deep under water
Little sister
I'm here to save you
(I'm here to save you)
I will be your rapture
How ironic, this city was founded on choice
When free will here has no voice
I see the ghosts of the past, the suppressed
And the outcast
A flawed mantra since this all began
No gods or kings, only man
My strength is not in steel and fire
That is what the parasites will never understand
There's a time to live and a time to die
A time to build and a time to destroy
The streets were paved with gold
In the end, their minds you controlled
We're buried deep under water
Little sister
I'm here to save you
We're buried deep under water
Little sister
I'm here to save you
"In the end, what separates a man from a slave?
Money? Power?
No, a man chooses
A slave obeys"
The life you stole from them I will return
Giving them the one thing you wouldn't, a chance
A chance to learn
To find love
And to live
A chance to learn
To find love
And to live
