Beyond the pale The rain is falling down upon me Beyond the pale, I found salvation Emancipation Beyond the pale, I found my heroes The freaks and zeroes I am skin and bones, broken stones See the scars that I show

Ash to ashes, dust to dust Skin to bone and steel to rust Skin to bone, steel to rust Will tomorrow have it's way With the promises we made Your deception, my disgust When your name is finally drawn I'll be happy that you're gone

I began to understand why God died The air begins to feel a little thin And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game And then I saw him, torch in hand He laid it

Is there life beyond the grave? And will I make the same mistakes, day after day? There must be a better way I know that one of these days I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates Will you take me or will I fade into the grave? Forgive me

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city Got to get a grip If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip I can't explain how to be a fat city You gotta live large, gotta
