None of this matters, none of these words Common and silent we will die in this world We've only spoken to those who agree And without them we've fallen on deaf ears Stand on conviction and you will walk alone For once I have stood no one will know But alone I was born and alone we must go In my convictions I've found my own grave But amongst the dead we all fade away Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction There is nothing to lose So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery In my convictions I've found my own grave But amongst the dead we all fade away Fade away Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone A voice is only a noise without someone to hear And without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent For once I have stood no one will know But alone I was born and alone we must go Fading back into an anodyne sea To drown with all who've gone before me We must go In my convictions I've found my own grave But amongst the dead we all fade away Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone Fading back into an anodyne sea Fading back, fading Fading back into an anodyne sea Fading back, fading away
