When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"

And so it must be
For so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price
For so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Send us a blindfold, send us a blade
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
Blame
Me for the tragedies that follow
Grave
The situations that surround
Me for the tragedies that follow
Grave
The situations that surround
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams
But we don't have to be
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams
Fear, and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
