The Brave / Agony Applause
It is time to go, march us prisoners off
I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene
Far away from my home, caged behind rusty bars
Beaten and mortified your shouting and cheering
Would forever fall silent
You would be ashamed of clapping your hands
I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene
Dear spectators I'm coming from the boondocks
To your wilderness of mirrors
Pretending to be dangerous and unpredictable
But look into my eyes
And all you will see
Is frustration and fear
Disappointment about man
Creation's crowning glory
But now it's time to go once again
March us prisoners off, rush to the trucks
Cause the next town is waiting for our show
Let our agony and torment entertain you
I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene
