Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dark and dirty like you have never seen
A mind so twisted with thoughts so unclean
My heart is racing, all tattered and torn
I stand here naked as the day I was born
[Verse 2]
Over and over I stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
[Verse 3]
The sky is falling on this setting son
Echoes of silence ringing loud and long
This isolation Is the king of pain
A lost horizon In an ocean of flames
[Verse 4]
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I've got to believe
[Verse 5]
I've been here before
But not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
Ready to walk
Into the light
Written by: Joe Elliott, Richard Savage, Stephen Clarke
