lyrics

masquerade around the town
beat the drum, don't bring me down
hear the sound of squirming worms
wanting more, please hear my terms

follow close, march in line
breathing deep, we'll all be fine
listen up you filthy mice
you pressure hard, I wont be nice

it's all a mystery
that I've been told
somewhere deep down
there’s a home made of gold
it's all a mystery
and nobody knows
somewhere deep down
a fire still glows

I hope that you will understand
that this is mine, I'll take this land
digging deep into the sand
you are all that I demand

war has stricken, tides have turned
we all go on while flags are burned
heat is rising, feel the flames
of those among who can't be tamed

shouting out a battle cry
though we have won, we can't deny
the lives we've lost, now in the Earth
this can't determine what we're worth

it's all a mystery
that I've been told
somewhere deep down
there’s a home made of gold
it's all a mystery
and nobody knows
somewhere deep down
a fire still glows

and now we march back
we may not move on
when everything's broken
it's hard to stay strong
the mystery stays
it never fades
and with our eyes open
we may never change

it's all a mystery
that I've been told
somewhere deep down
there’s a home made of gold
it's all a mystery
and nobody knows
somewhere deep down
a fire still glows
