"Hall Of Echoes" lyrics
Hear the voice say the word
Thoughts and theories are never heard
No distrust, no recall
One illusion to cover them all
So burn all the books, destroy all the bridges
Sell them the desert as mountains and ridges
Wrong time and place but it's a matter of pride
Shooting down the other side
'Cause the gulf is way too wide
You're all shored up in your bunkers and silos
Don't know the way but I'm sure it's the high road
Shout the words till they come back louder
Destroy the foil and feel the power
Light the fuse and ignite the powder
And maybe this could be your hour
So build your fortress, raise your drawbridge
Climb the tower as it grows
Follow the feeling wherever it goes
With narrow thoughts in narrow walls
For narrow minds until they close
The future is yours in a hall of echoes
This is your DNA
'Do not alter' it's your constraint
Sights are set, guns are primed
By your halter forever defined
So when you expose emotion that scares you
Push it away now, don't let it impair you
Wrong time and place but it's a matter of fact
Walking down a one-way track
Not a chance you're coming back
You're all shored up in your bunkers and silos
Your finger's poised and you're ready to fire now
Shout the words till they come back louder
Destroy the foil and feel the power
Light the fuse and ignite the powder
And maybe this could be your hour
So build your fortress, raise your drawbridge
Climb the tower as it grows
Follow the feeling wherever it goes
With narrow thoughts in narrow walls
For narrow minds until they close
The future is yours in a hall of echoes
And there's no guarantee
We've found reality
Thoughts are forced and minds are stormed
Memories lost and new ones formed
Shoot the messenger and close the doors
The future is now, the future is yours
It's yours (It's yours)
Shout the words till they come back louder
Destroy the foil and feel the power
Light the fuse and ignite the powder
And maybe this could be your hour
So build your fortress, raise your drawbridge
Climb the tower as it grows
Follow the feeling wherever it goes
With narrow thoughts in narrow walls
For narrow minds until they close
The future is yours in a hall of echoes
And there's no guarantee
We've found reality
Thoughts and theories are never heard
No distrust, no recall
One illusion to cover them all
So burn all the books, destroy all the bridges
Sell them the desert as mountains and ridges
Wrong time and place but it's a matter of pride
Shooting down the other side
'Cause the gulf is way too wide
You're all shored up in your bunkers and silos
Don't know the way but I'm sure it's the high road
Shout the words till they come back louder
Destroy the foil and feel the power
Light the fuse and ignite the powder
And maybe this could be your hour
So build your fortress, raise your drawbridge
Climb the tower as it grows
Follow the feeling wherever it goes
With narrow thoughts in narrow walls
For narrow minds until they close
The future is yours in a hall of echoes
This is your DNA
'Do not alter' it's your constraint
Sights are set, guns are primed
By your halter forever defined
So when you expose emotion that scares you
Push it away now, don't let it impair you
Wrong time and place but it's a matter of fact
Walking down a one-way track
Not a chance you're coming back
You're all shored up in your bunkers and silos
Your finger's poised and you're ready to fire now
Shout the words till they come back louder
Destroy the foil and feel the power
Light the fuse and ignite the powder
And maybe this could be your hour
So build your fortress, raise your drawbridge
Climb the tower as it grows
Follow the feeling wherever it goes
With narrow thoughts in narrow walls
For narrow minds until they close
The future is yours in a hall of echoes
And there's no guarantee
We've found reality
Thoughts are forced and minds are stormed
Memories lost and new ones formed
Shoot the messenger and close the doors
The future is now, the future is yours
It's yours (It's yours)
Shout the words till they come back louder
Destroy the foil and feel the power
Light the fuse and ignite the powder
And maybe this could be your hour
So build your fortress, raise your drawbridge
Climb the tower as it grows
Follow the feeling wherever it goes
With narrow thoughts in narrow walls
For narrow minds until they close
The future is yours in a hall of echoes
And there's no guarantee
We've found reality
