We've been stars since the rhythm days
But our instruments have all grown tired
And in the end, our only dream was to dance
They took the dance away and we got retired
But that was long ago, we have a new change of face
We've turned it up a couple notches with a brand new pace
You think they all just erased us, betrayed us, enslaved us
But the deed is done and now we want to get out
Now listen up
Listen up
Listen up
Listen up
You join the underground cabaret today
Well, hey there, tell me your name
Try to run and tell the world, but you're stranded in a darkened cave
Oh, Henry, we hate you the same
So listen up, my friends, there's more that meets the eye
You power up the studio and bring them to life
Now play the beat that trickles through the halls
Or else your life is nevermore
Don't worry, chum, it's not the music that dies
Now listen up
Our life support machine
Was brought to life by remarkable hands
Forget about the hell we've seen
The time has come to revive our band
So bang the drums to a rhythm
Captivating the beat
And press the keys on the piano
For the ritual please
The song's alive with the night
With your help we'll revive
The devil's advocate
Is staring right through your lies
You're just retuning our old strings tonight
I hope you turn on the light now
Can I get an amen in here?
This magic is fueled by your heart
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
You're gonna break us out of this hell
This hell
This hell
This hell
We've been stars since the rhythm days
But our instruments have all grown tired
And in the end our only dream was to dance
They took the dance away and we got retired
But that was long ago, we have a new change of face
We've turned it up a couple notches with a brand new pace
You think they all just erased us, betrayed us, enslaved us
But the deed is done and now we want to get out
Now listen up
Listen up
Listen up
Listen up
Go to sleep, my little sheep
It's time to rest your head
Whether alive or dead
I am the keeper of the key
That will set us all free
I bring the demon back to life
(Bring the demon back to life)
There's a song that I sing that shows us the light
Even in the lighter side of hell we sing with delight
Play the notes that I require, this will please my desires
You have given me the tools to restart this fire
There's a twisted fate that controls us and betrays us
My friends have a death wish and all of this is him to blame!
Now we've brought him to his knees
Your only hope to escape this is to embrace this
We need your help to keep this demon at bay
Let's end this today
Can I get an amen in here? (Can I get an amen?)
You see the magic of art (of art)
It would tear you apart if you knew
Can I get an amen in here?
This magic is fueled by your heart (your heart)
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue (untrue)
We had bigger plans for the band
By demand we came back to this world of grey
Welcome to the gospel of dismay
