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 bullet 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 a chain rеaction with a purpose
A reason still unknown
We'rе like puppets in a dance
Waiting for a chance
I've seen them trouble everyday
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 behavior?
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 everyday
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 behavior?
They're digging a hole
What tools can be used to break their defenses
Upon the ageless door
In Rome?
