You have longed for a new morning Begged for the light of another day But your fears are there to greet you And you know that they are here to stay
Here to stay, yeah!
When you stare into the abyss inside you And peer into the nethermost recesses of your mind The ghouls that torment your conscience have come to guide you Why do you find them so bitter and unkind?
So unkind!
You can't turn the tide Or smother the guilt deep inside Settle your dues, for there shall be hell to pay For you know you've long gone astray
You can't turn the tide! You can't turn the tide! You can't turn the tide! You can't turn the tide!
Mesmerized by the ruin in all that gleams You walk the beaten path of your crippled dreams Do not test the tempter, for he is not what he seems Take the long road to the one that redeems
Your crippled dreams!
You can't turn the tide Or smother the guilt deep inside Settle your dues, for there shall be hell to pay You know you've long gone astray
