Don't say we're better off dead, soon we could be in remission I said: "It's not enough" They told me: "It'll be fine, happiness isn't a crime, son" So pick your guts from the floor
We'll all be hanging a hero Praying for someone to save us Goliath says I oughta let it go
Nobody's proving me wrong They're all singing hallelujah Keep two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
We've got a mountain to climb But I ain't got the permission They wanna call my bluff They said you're crossing the line, I said it takes one to know one
Oh, please God be merciful 'Cause they know not what they do
We should be begging for more We'll all be hanging a hero Praying for someone to save us Goliath says I oughta let it go
Nobody's proving me wrong They're all singing hallelujah Keep two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight Bury your head in the sand Soon you'll be feeling the fangs So sleep with two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Long live the king that's not listening No time for rats in the gutter Snakes coiling, but we're signalling Screaming at one another Long live the king that's not listening No time for rats in the gutter Snakes coiling, but we're signalling Screaming at one another
Smoke 'em out and set a fire in the hive They wouldn't break their stride if we were burning alive Burning alive
'Cause jackals live by the candlelight They live by the candlelight
Nobody's proving me wrong They're all singing hallelujah Keep two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight Bury your head in the sand Soon you'll be feeling the fangs So sleep with two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
