one by one
like dominos they fall
one by one by one
one by one
time catches up with them all
one by one by one
the clock strikes twelve!!!
underlying theme of what should have been
the pieces fall into place
the city sick inside, opens up to me
and i see her weary face
a sign is carried high, the end is near it cries
the pile of filth and much does grow
whores and politicians, "save us" they shout
and i look down and whisper "no"
one by one
they thought they'd seen it all
one by one by one
one by one
they didn't know how far they'd fall
one by one by one
the clock strikes twelve!!!
underneath the mask, no one would see
the little child, venting rage
like Jekyll into Hyde, the secret mind comes forth
looking for a war to wage
they try to shut me down, it's black and white, they say
my world is black and white and red
whores and politicians, "criminal" they shout
no comprimise until i'm dead
one by one
who will be shepherds then?
one by one by one
one by one
who watches the watchmen?
one by one by one
the clock strikes twelve!!!
