In the first simulation Thought becomes form A cell grows a mind A heart starts to burn The pupil shows promise Kill him again It's a cold dialectic May he rise in the end
From the guillotine To the chalk outline He's always hanging from the same rope He'd been trying to climb
When you're up on the wire And you can't commit And you can't hold the tension I guess that's it
You've had a thousand lives Now you're down to one Trying to survive In the shadowverse Every borderland Every hungry wolf Now to make your stand In the shadowverse
Then he's a crusader With a grail to find But he's got no sword And there's not much time Then he's a warrior chieftain A violent man As she cries on the phone He does not understand
Then he's Achilles Who takes off his ring In their New York penthouse While she's packing her things
Now up on the wire If you can't commit And you can't hold the tension I guess that's it
You've had a thousand lives Now you're down to one Trying to survive In the shadowverse Every borderland Every hungry wolf Now to make your stand In the shadowverse
You've had a thousand lives Now you're down to one Trying to survive In the shadowverse Every borderland Every hungry wolf Now to make your stand In the shadowverse
Out of time Out of time and fading Out of time Empty hearts waiting
You've had a thousand lives Now you're down to one Trying to survive In the shadowverse Every borderland Every hungry wolf Now to make your stand In the shadowverse
You've had a thousand lives Now you're down to one Trying to survive In the shadowverse Every borderland Every hungry wolf Now to make your stand In the shadowverse
Out of time Out of time and fading Out of time Empty hearts waiting
