Gather your deeds and your possessions
Whatever certainty you've known
Forget your heroes

You don't really need those last few lessons

Stand in the open

The next voice you hear will be your own

Well alright, they knew how they could hurt you

And you let them cut you to the bone
But God forbid
You allow them to rid you of your virtue


Forget their laughter
The next voice you hear will be your own


The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear will be your own

Throw down your truth and check your weapons

Don't look to see if you're alone
Just stand your ground
And don't turn around - whatever happens

Don't ask directions
The next voice you hear will be your own


The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear will be your own
