When I would dwell in the arms, safe forever and ever, ever
The freak show in this callous circus, on parade so all may look
[Incomprehensible] in the shadow of death
Here we go
Too scared to give this kiss of life, come rise, my son, and walk
A fear that's bred of ignorance perpetuates the lie
On these streets of damnation the destitute huddle once more
Surely deceased suffering shall follow me all days of my life
There but for the mercy and the grace of God go I
By knowledge, myself comes with me
(Now)
Can we pass them by just like all who have been there before?
Are you so cold and heartless? You can feel no shame
Can't comprehend the pain you feel, their blinkered eyes will never see
You brand the social leper, then spare no second thought
(Now)
Those who gaze upon the outcasts to taste how bitter life can be
Here we go
They wrestle the double backed beast face their foe hand to hand
The arena was life but alone in deaths shadow they stand
And fear no evil for God with me
Here we go
Prisoners in a sterile vacuum, hearts that feel but dare not touch
That we allow a human life to become a death in vein
(Now)
