Times Of Trouble

Oh, in these times of trouble, what can you do

But lie awake and wonder what?s in store for you.

In these days of worry, the people that you meet

Are nothing more than faces that pass on the street.

In troubled times, the world unwinds

The circles spin faster, the dice roll with temper.

In troubled times, there?s nowhere to run

And hide from the demons that block out the sun, so

Dance inside the firelight

And feel it when the tide turns ?round

And take that princess for your own

You?ll feel it when the tide turns ?round.

Oh, in these times of trouble, what can you save

But your money, well, your money won?t absolve your sins.

In this wicked weather, a storm?s closing in,

The car?s overturning, the windows are breaking.

In troubled times, our fears are fed

By the hands of the monsters beneath our beds.

In troubled times, there?s nowhere to run

And nowhere to hide once the damage is done, so

Dance inside the firelight

And feel it when the tide turns ?round

And take that princess for your own

You?ll feel it when the tide turns ?round and round.

Oh, here I am waiting for an answer, ?come and take this all away.

Waiting here while minutes bleed to hours, bleed to days, bleed to days.

My mind won't set me free of this madness.

My mind can't tell what?s wrong or right or wrong or right or wrong or right.

Dance inside the firelight

And feel it when the tide turns around

And take that princess for your own

You?ll feel it when the tide turns ?round and round.

It's a lie. It's a lie. It's never changing. It only grows.

It's a lie. It's a lie. But you're in control. You're in control.
