Been chosen, cannot resign
Accept with consternation
Your future is well defined
Days lost in preparation
But you are not sure
You lost her, now go find
Look for her everywhere you go
You don't know which way to find
Just don't step past the fields or else it will...
Been chosen, cannot resign
Carry on your ancestry
You're born with a past behind
But you're afraid you don't believe
You are not sure of what is to come
You don't know exactly what she meant by saying all those words
and you sincerely hope it doesn't mean she's gonna go away
Every time you turn around and walk away somehow you get the
feeling that you'll never ever gonna get to see her again
See her again
But you could never face the fire (When you decide)
And so you fight against desire (you will find)
It makes you feel just like a liar (you cannot)
Just like walking down the wire (walk on)
But you cannot live in denial (When you decide)
There is nowhere left to hide, no (you will find)
You know you have to defy it (you cannot)
But you are standing in crossfire (let go)
You never got to decide
If that's what you wanted to be
They've chosen which is your side
In a war you don't even see
You are not sure of what is to come
You don't know exactly what she meant by saying all those words
and you sincerely hope it doesn't mean she's gonna go away
Every time you turn around and walk away somehow you get the
feeling that you'll never ever gonna get to see her again
To see her again
But you could never face the fire (When you decide)
And so you fight against desire (you will find)
It makes you feel just like a liar (you cannot)
Just like walking down the wire (walk on)
But you cannot live in denial (When you decide)
There is nowhere left to hide, no (you will find)
You know you have to defy it (you cannot)
But you are standing in crossfire (let go)
When you're there you get the feeling that
no other feeling will ever replace her in your heart
When you're back you feel your spirit back
into the prison, back into the chains, into the dark
When you're there you get the feeling that
no other feeling will ever replace her in your heart
When you're there you get the feeling that
no other feeling will ever take you higher
But you are standing in crossfire
