The Brave / Agony Applause

It is time
To go
March us
Prisoners off

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance
At the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene

Far away from my home
Caged behind rusty bars
Beaten and mortified

Your shouting
And Cheering
Would forever fall silent
You would be ashamed
Of clapping your hands

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance
At the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene

Dear spectators
I'm coming from boondocks
To your wilderness of mirrors
Pretending to be dangerous
And unpredictable
But look into my eyes

And all
You will see
Is frustration and fear
Disappointment about man
Creation's crowning glory

But now it's time
To go
March us
Prisoners off
Let our agony
Entertain you

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance
At the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene
