What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In death you face life with a child and a wife
2
Who sleep walks through your dreams into walls
3
You're a soldier of mercy and you're cold and you curse
4
"He who cannot be trusted must fall"
5
Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety
6
You fight for the throne and you travel alone
7
Unknown as you slowly sink
8
And there's no time to think
9
In the federal city you've been blown and shown pity
10
But in secret, for pieces of change
11
The empress attracts you but oppression distracts you
12
It makes you feel violent and strange
13
Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy
14
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss
15
In the valley of the missing link
16
And you have no time to think
17
Judges will haunt you, the country priestess will want you
18
Her worst is better than best
19
I've seen all these decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes
20
And I feel so depressed
21
China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality
22
Mercury rules you and destiny fools you
23
Like the plague, with a dangerous wink
24
And there's no time to think
25
Your conscience betrayed you, when some tyrant waylaid you
26
Where lion lies down with the lamb
27
I'd paid the traitor and killed him much later
28
But that's just the way that I am
29
Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality
30
But the magician is quicker and his game
31
Is much thicker, than blood and blacker than ink
32
And there's no time to think
33
Varmint and jealousy's all that he sells us
34
He's content when you're under his thumb
35
Madmen oppose him, your kindness throws him
36
To survive it you play deaf and dumb
37
Equality, liberty, humility, simplicity
38
You glance through the mirror and there's eyes staring clear
39
At the back of your head as you drink
40
And there's no time to think
41
Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow
42
Will offer their heads for a prayer
43
You can't find no salvation, have no expectations
44
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
45
Mercury, gravity, nobility, humility
46
You know you can't keep her and the water gets deeper
47
That is leading you onto the brink
48
But there's no time to think
49
You've murdered your vanity, buried your sanity
50
For pleasure you must now resist
51
Lovers obey you but they cannot sway you
52
They're not even sure you exist
53
Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism
54
Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws
55
And the sound of the keys as they clink
56
But there's no time to think
57
The bridge that you travel on goes to the Babylon girl
58
With the rose in her hair
59
Starlight in the east, you're finally released
60
You're stranded with nothing to share
61
Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity
62
You turn around for one real last glimpse of Camille
63
'Neath the moon shinin' bloody and pink
64
And there's no time to think
65
Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you
66
But no, you will not be deceived
67
Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt
68
You can give but you cannot receive
69
No time to choose when the truth must die
70
No time to lose or say goodbye
71
No time to prepare for the victim that's there
72
No time to suffer or blink and no time to think
