None of this matters
None of these words
Common and silent
We will die in this world
We've only spoken
To those who agree
And without them
We've fallen on deaf ears
Stand on conviction
And you will walk alone
For once I have stood
(I have stood)
No one will know
But alone I was born
And alone we must go
In my convictions
I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead
We all fade away
Yeah
Yet solitude is better than a life
Not worthy of reaction
There is nothing to lose
(Nothing)
So we stand alone or join those
Who follow in misery
In my convictions
I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead
We all fade away
In my convictions
I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead
We all fade away, fade away
Stand on conviction
And you'll walk alone
A voice is only a noise
Without someone to hear
And without a crowd to feed
That noise grows silent
For once I have stood
No one will know
But alone I was born
And alone we must go
Fading back
Into an anodyne sea
To drown with all
Who've gone before me
Yeah, we must go
In my convictions
I've found my own grave
(My own grave)
But amongst the dead
We all fade away, yeah
In my convictions
(Convictions)
I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead
We all fade away
Stand on conviction
And you'll walk alone, yeah
Fading back
Into an anodyne sea
To drown with all
Who've gone before me
Fading back, fading
Fading back into an anodyne sea
Fading back, fading
Fading back, fading away
