Cry for absolution Put your hands up and reach for the sky You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry All those things that you desire You will find there in the fire Ever since you were born you've been dying Every day a little more you've been dying

You don't know how it feels To be misunderstood To reach for the sky I thought you never would But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised From the grip that I once had on you And I'm open for a new way Because there's not much more that I can fake This

Then get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground This is a robbery now get down on the floor We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (yeah) Get ‘em get ‘em up We want your cash open the safe get off the phone

Cry for absolution Put your hands up and reach for the sky You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry All those things that you desire You will find there in the fire Ever since you were born you've been dying Every day a little more you've been dying

Only the good die young No-one but you They're only flyin' too close to the sun A hand above the water An angel reaching for the sky Is it raining in heaven - Do you want us to cry' And everywhere the broken-hearted

We were born to fly To reach beyond the sky To carry on forever after You keep my faith alive With you I'm not afraid To rise and fall and face disaster Hello again You've been alone awhile

Oh they say that it's over And it just had to be In the misty morning, on the edge of time As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky We've lost the rising sun, a final sign We sailed across the air before we learned

Yesterday is dead and gone Shaking the cage Heed our war cry Let there be no doubt This is reckoning day Rattling the chains We want out We are standing in the flames Reaching for the sky
