There is a tempting fate
Flying out the gate
And a hunger that
You cannot sate

The logs are jammed
When you cannot wait
Oh, it's a far, far cry
From tempting fate

Just more
Smoke and mirrors
In the dark

A chain of events
Linked by
Missing the mark

Mmmm, it's the subliminal messages
That's concerning
When there are pictures
Of heretics burning

In a man-made hell
Of inquisitorial learning
There are no ifs, ands, buts
When so discerning

Just more
Smoke and mirrors
In the dark

A chain of events
Linked by
Missing the mark

And the souls we bear
Are they still there
The souls we bear
Are they still there

You've got to learn to beg before you crawl
You've got to learn to beg before you crawl
You've got to learn to beg before you crawl
You've got to learn to beg before you crawl
