You think you tell the right from wrong
In a world lit by fire
Heavy chains tie us down
Time seems to pass so slow
That's the only world we know

In the darkness that surrounds us
Twisted images dance on stage
They're everything we can see
Voices echo how we ought to be
You think you tell the right from wrong
Shadows on the wall
The flame of lies still burning strong
Shadows on the wall

We are the people who believe
We got everything we need
To live this life among these walls
But in a world lit by the sun
There are wonders never seen
I can move my legs and turn my head
Not only looking forward instead

Back to where I used to live
I tell the others what I saw
They say there's no other reality
I'm on the verge of insanity
You think you tell the right from wrong
Shadows on the wall
The flame of lie's still burning strong
Shadows on the wall

I broke those chains to live outside
Why don't you open up your eyes
And get a life beyond these walls
