Sullivan)



Through the years of decay we walk like tigers in cages

With each passing turn the smaller and smaller the circles

Every weapon and word legitimate now as protection

But these things should never be spoken

These things should never be spoken



I stand undefeated alone in the ring just pacing

The sweat and the blood dried on my hands all wasted

I'm shouting "come back and fight for I am the king"

But the lights are all out and the people are gone

We always burned brightest when no one was watching

Now I kiss the lines on your beautiful face

But these things should never be spoken



And sometimes your hunger for life seems like desperation

And when I read about the world these days all I can feel is hatred

The fortune teller is closing her doors

She looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all

They're waiting round here for something to happen

They won't really want it when it rolls out to greet them

But these things should never be spoken

These things should never be spoken
