If they offer you money
Don't take it
If they promise you happiness, remember
They're faking it
When you been locked in for the longest time
Trying everything to get a better shine
And a mountain of gold gives a lesser light
Here in the dark it's alright
If they offer you power
They just want you for a slave
When they kick in your door they're so sure
You can be behaved
Though you fought them off for the longest time
Got your freedom and you're gonna let it shine
You're not paid, they will say, you will never win
Never give in never give in
So you took the deal
You blew it
When they tell you it's time to lay down and die
You do it
It has been proven since the beginning
When the bell tolls, you gotta let it ring
And the sea will be my one witness
Here in the dark wilderness
