In this land of chance do we know right from wrong

Even at a glance we know the road is long

We don't owe a single thing to anyone

Most of us do not believe in come what may

Everything we fought for was in vain they say

Even when called upon to throw our lives away

We have been captured by the thieves of the night

Held for ransom if you please

Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories

In these times of trial and uncertainty

I have thought what does this freedom mean to me

Is it just some long forgotten fantasy

Our love for each other may not be explained

We live in a world where tears must fall like rain

Most of us don't wish to cause each other pain

We have been captured by the thieves of the night

Held for ransom if you please

Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories

To every unsung hero in the universe

To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth

To all good men of reason may they never thirst

We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea

And faith that will remain through all eternity

We try to be helpful to the ones in need

We have been captured by the thieves of the night

Held for ransom if you please

Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasant memories
