Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
Theyve turned things inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no
And mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
And father taught us boundaries
Beyond which we must go
To find the secrets promised us, yeah
Thats when I reach for my revolver
Thats when it all gets blown away
Thats when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way
A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
Cry and whispers sing in muted pain
Thats when I reach for my revolver
Thats when it all gets blown away
Thats when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way
Tonight the sky is empty
But that is nothing new
Its dead eyes look upon us
And they tell me were nothing but slaves
Thats when I reach for my revolver
…but slaves
Thats when I reach for my revolver
Thats when I reach for my revolver
Thats when I reach for my revolver
Thats when I reach for my revolver
Thats when I reach for my revolver
