The Guillotine

Once is too many times, a thousand is never enough
It's like a storm is raging but no one can shelter us
I believe ignorance is bliss, some kind of peace of mind
The gates of Heaven are a sight for sore eyes

Here we are
Holding on
Will they adore you
Or tear you to pieces?
We'll never know
The lies they told
Which could destroy you
This ship is now sinking

I get the feeling that they're watching me while I'm alone
Maybe I'm dreaming but they seem to know of the unknown
There's no escaping, just fall in line to sell your soul
We're living beneath the guillotine

The golden rule has been betrayed, we live to help ourselves
Even creating lies to the demise of someone else
Your time has come you'll meet your maker, just wait in line
Remains their sentiment ingrained in your mind

Here we are
Holding on
Will they adore you
Or tear you to pieces?
We'll never know
The lies they told
Which could destroy you
This ship is now sinking

I get the feeling that they're watching me while I'm alone
Maybe I'm dreaming but they seem to know of the unknown
There's no escaping, just fall in line to sell your soul
We're living beneath the guillotine

They're circling the skies
The sadness in your eyes
The make believe allegiance
With no more truth than lies

Born to betrayal
I will not fail
The hidden message I've been searching
And still I'm yet to find it
The burden's buried deep and it's inside of me
I feel them watching me
Maybe I'm dreaming

I get the feeling that they're watching me while I'm alone
Maybe I'm dreaming but they seem to know of the unknown
There's no escaping, just fall in line to sell your soul
We're living beneath the guillotine
