We've denied the very thing that makes us feel alive If we stand and take a chance On anything that's real We can fall back into blindness Disrupting these illusions Of a love they say is right Maybe there's more to this Than counting down until the end 'Cause you've taken me your prisoner And it's all I ever need to know Don't let them tell you That our music needs to fade Or do we all just float astray? So here we are, struggling to stay above the water Shaken by the power of the mind If we stand and leave nothing left Then our moment in time will appear Can we suffer long enough to show them That our embrace is one to change the world When the fear takes hold, although it will be cold You still have to breathe 'Cause you've taken me your prisoner And it's all I ever need to know Don't let them tell you That our music needs to fade Our epidemic symphony Will rise beyond their reach Our moment in time is here
