Open the bow
You oughta know
That all of your life
Is waiting inside

All of the string
Marvelous thing
Waiting in light
Is all of your life

But you hide away
Barricades
I'm sad to say
Your poor, little world

It is a gift
The sands, they will shift
And scenery dies
For all that survives is

The pain that exists
From all that you miss
Bathing in fire
Is solely desire

But you hide away
Barricades
I'm sad to say
Your poor, little world
I think it's time
Cast your eyes to the signs
Let them teach you
To shine on the truth

You have to hold
All the glory and know
That it's love
That'll carry you through

But your constant escape
This plan in your fate
You set your plate
So dine it alone

But you hide away
Barricades
I'm sad to say
Your poor, little world

Yes, you hide away
Barricades
I'm sad to say
Your poor, little world
