LOST HORIZON

In the land of the dark horizon
People keep their heads down low
Praying for a sign of where to go

We see pain on every corner
Every slogan tells of despair
We're searching for a light that isn't there

We're waiting for the sun to reappear

Every second is an hour and a minute a year
As we die for the moment, money disappears
And the man upstairs laughs through his tears
As the rats run around just to ease his fears

As we scrape through a living on bended knees
The powers that rule sip English tea
The man in the uniform says 'Pray for me'
I say 'Man, I'm lost, leave me be'

'I'd sell my soul for a new tomorrow'
The drunk said as he hit the floor
It's not like he could wish for something more

When a dream becomes a nightmare
That's when your life falls through your veins
Keep walking on and on....

Tell yourself you'll be okay
But you know nothing's changed

-repeat chorus-

And the time will keep flowing as we watch it go
Everybody dances in the even flow
And the devil wants a partner and he's got it for good
Give it back to me like you should
Take it back......
Take it back......
