It Begins Tonight

[Verse 1]

I'm red, I'm black, I'm city born

Mau Mau scarecrow, far from home

I'm faceless, nameless, right or wrong

I'm fearless, hopeless, sing my song

[Pre-Chorus]

Out go the lights

It begins tonight

[Verse 2]

On stage with borrowed angel's sword

And a crossword puzzle of stolen chords

I'm alive but those I love are gone

Let's move tonight and take the throne

[Pre-Chorus]

Out go the lights

It begins tonight

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, it begins tonight

Oh Lord, oh Lord, it begins tonight

Oh Lord, oh Lord, it begins tonight

Cell door clicks open, I come alive

Oh Lord, it begins tonight

[Verse 3]

I followed the rules

What did that bring?

Looked just where you told me

I never found a thing

Yeah, I see all the jewels

Gold and diamonds glistenin'

I see your mouth movin'

But man I ain't listenin'

Sun and moon and stone and mud

A bottle of whiskey and a pint of blood

I'll burn my way to the sea

Till all are dead or all are free

[Pre-Chorus]

Out go the lights

It begins tonight

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, it begins tonight

Oh Lord, oh Lord, it begins tonight

Oh Lord, oh Lord, it begins tonight

Cell door clicks open, I come alive

Oh Lord, it begins tonight

Ha

Ha
