So, why do you keep trying to destroy my dreams and crush everything that I have?
Is it the end of the picture or is it just the point where you give in?
No time to ask questions, no time to tell lies.
My life is being cut short by the hands of time.
It's when you know that everything's lost in your senses,
Failing to grasp the gun in this wasted moment

[Chorus]
You, have blocked out the sun
How could any angels survive?
Everything has turned pitch black...
As we wait for a revolution to arrive

It's been long enough and every time I mend, you are there for me to bend.
Is it the beginning of the second act only when you heal these torn and broken hearts.
Blood is on this microphone, while I learn the art of speaking through my soul,
Trying to save you from your fall from grace. I think I'm finally in love,
And that's one thing I'll never let go of.

(chorus)

Is this a test?
To see how long I can make it without you?
Well know this...despite all the dark days, a light will shine and I will make it back to you.

[Chorus]

(You gave me energy)

As we wait here impatiently
For a saviour
All I have to say for you is
Take a quick look in the mirror
