lyrics

Heaven lies on a bed of lies and deceit
A ruthless defeat
Drooling over a screen
Your breast is untouched
Their mission complete

I didn’t come for the win
Cos you can spot all my sins

And when I reach the finish line
You are always there to witness me falling
You’ll reach your hand to lift me up
No soothing words it wasn’t your calling

Our heroes tired and the public stunned and abused
With too much to choose from
Divide and rule is the game that’s proven to work
We feed on their dirt

I sure did come for a win
Cos you don’t know where I’ve been

I’ve been inside this web you are in
I recognise each thread that you are holding
I’ll reach my hand to lift you up
But, I can’t stay the future is calling

Ahh, ahh, ooh ooh
