Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once I had my heroes Once I had my dream But all of that is changed now They turned things inside out Truth is not that comfortable, no [Verse 2] And Mother taught us patience The virtues of restraint And Father taught us boundaries Beyond which we must go To find the secrets promised us, yeah [Chorus] That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit fights to find its way [Verse 3] A friend of mine once told me His one and only aim To build a giant castle And live inside his name Cry and whispers sing in muted pain Yeah [Chorus] That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit fights to find its way [Bass Solo] [Verse 4] Tonight the sky is empty But that is nothing new Its dead eyes look upon us And they tell me We're nothing but slaves [Outro] That's when I reach for my revolver (Just slaves) That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver
