I would do anything not to be this way
Take you for a ride in the month of May
Take you by the hand through the holy land
For a thousand years wipe away your tears
I would say anything to be on your side
Then you can never tell when hero’s in hell
So prepare to see the chosen destiny
A lock without a key – this is misery
I can’t no longer wait; want to no longer hate
In the left behind I am in my mind
Now you realize you are in disguise
Hope the lesson learned teach us all how to burn
In the month of June beneath the stormy moon
The secret’s then revealed high upon the hill
There for all to see what is meant to be
A ship without a sea – this is misery
You find a way on in
You take it while you can
Following a ‘why’
You walk the sky
Then you set aside
The what you look inside
It’s all the factory – this is misery
I would do anything not to be this way
Trip you for a ride in the month of May
Drag you by the hand through the promise land
For a million years reduce you to tears
I would say anything to see the other side
And you can always tell when you’re in hell
As we prepare to see our only destiny
A cold cup of tea – this is misery
