Dangerous When Dead

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 it's time to stand and to wake up

and realize I've 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 they're 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 they're 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
