you've gone to god to get the goods that give your gold no meaning
you left the lies to lighten the load that left you lustfully dreaming
you've overturned the coldest stone to feel the heat beneath it
renounce the name, the sword, the flame, sharpen just to sheath it
you've stolen the golden key, no longer caged in the courtyard
you've set yourself free to feel the healing of the scar
that fallacy, that fantasy, that pageant is a tragedy
forgive yourself for your facades of that man-made morality
oh no, oh no, oh don't you turn away
a blind eye still knows the light of day
oh no, oh no, oh don't you turn away
who you are, who you are, who you are
is yours to claim
now you can handle all that has to happen, wax and wane with the harvest moon
careful what you feed your dragon, what you serve will be consumed, yes
faith or fear she'll feast and fatten so what of you will blossom and bloom
forego for no one your own fashion, listen for the voice within you
listen for the last line, listen for the truth
fly far beyond forever with the winds of time behind you
no need to be afraid, sweet embrace of elevation
when the revolution's over, it's time for restoration
oh no, oh no, oh don't you turn away
a blind eye still knows the light of day
oh no, oh no, oh don't you turn away
who you are, who you are, who you are
is yours to claim
