Riding the Beast

Time after time and once again

See all the while they feed us only lies

Twelve stars all plain to see

and in my heart I fear

yes we all fear

the war's not truly over

In the streets we see the signs

and on the screen they spill it out

Forever lost it seems

and deep inside you know

What we all know

The war's not truly over

We've heard it all before

Shut up and lock that door

and when you feel secure

The wounded beast arises

Over the water, over the sea

Over the water, riding the beast

Over the water, over the sea

Over the water she goes

Riding the beast

All the while, well I don't know but

I believe we wait too patiently

Near the end of time

Watch her ride the waves of infamy

Over the sea, rise above us all

I was born in the fold of the beast

We've heard it all before

Can you see what I see
