I've been trying to participate in masquerades The throne's been empty for too long The paradise for those who play along And the fortunate ones I've been listening to the voice at night and he is right I am the chosen one And my shepherd, he has paid my Prynne (related to an english purtitant leader) I will go and smile I've been begging for the public eye, now watch me fly Can you see what I've become So expose me, I shall be released From the flesh-pain so sweet I was walking through the valley of the living dead Didn't help the tears I shed Always chasing those elusive dreams A drop of blood in the street
