Dangerous When Dead lyrics

The larger the island of knowledge
The longer is the shoreline of wonder

Dangerous when dead
Fatal when misled
If hopelessness takes place instead, then
Dreams are dangerous when dead


All the carnal beauty is but skin deep
In spite of the fact that grace comes not dirt cheap
All hail the death of a sailor
Cause nothing beats a try but a failure
Now it¹s time to stand and to wake up
And realize I¹ve been drinking from a broken cup


Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat


If you were born to be shot, you'll never drown
Allthough it means not that you won't go down
It suddenly have come to my senses
It's time to batten up my defenses


Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat


All the carnal beauty is but skin deep
In spite of the fact that grace comes not dirt cheap


Jewels are few
And far between
But they¹re not unseen


If you were born to be shot, you'll never drown
Allthough it means not that you won't go down
It suddenly have come to my senses
It's time to batten up my defenses


Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat


Jewels are few
And far between
But they¹re not unseen


The larger the island of knowledge
The longer is the shoreline of wonder


Dangerous when dead
When hopelessness comes instead
Dangerous when dead
Fatal are dreams when they are dead
