the righteous

Who wants to stand on the trapdoor of ecstacy
Who wants to play in a fool's game
Who wants to walk up another blind alleyway
Searchin' for paradise tied to a watch & a chain

How can ya stay in a world of insanity
How can ya stay in the heartbreak
How can ya stay under the flashlights of vanity
Crying on yer knees
Won't the world just please
Give me a break

Hey, it wasn't me who told ya you weren't gonna make it
But we survived it anyway
It wasn't me who told ya you were too stupid
But we survived it anyway
Hey, it wasn't me who showed ya all this hatred
But we survived it anyway
If there's a chance to make it right we're gonna take it
How we survived it anyway

The righteous
They live in a world of their own
But I guess
Do you have a heart
The only thing I want to know
The righteous
They live in a world of their own
The twice blessed
Have a heart, the only ones i want to know

Long are the days
Long are the waves
Of a certain disease
Hostility to nature

Sailing away for the isle of integrity
Where can we go when the world has gone
Sailing away to the heart of humanity
What will we do
With the treasure of life that we have found

Find me the rivers of all kindred spirits
Find me the harbors of honesty
Find me a place where i can give you this treasure
Find me a place where we can all life in harmony

What a tragic beauty
The war of the spirit's idea of perfection
Upon nature's idea of the real
Time to start again
Find the heart again
