Born Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As you look through my window, deep into my room
At the tapestries all faded
Their vague and distant glories concealed in the gloom
The icy fingers of forgotten passions
Softly brushing my lips, on the tips of my primitive soul
As you look through my door, deep into my room
Can you feel the mighty wall of power?
It's waiting, waiting in the glow
The distant shadows of forgotten champions
Those who live in me still
And will rise when we challenge and kill

[Chorus]
Born again
You'll be born again
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Look at this prince of evil, fighting for your mind
Fighting all priests of shame
For the thrust of my challenge is aimed at the hearts
Of mutant gods who think we're all the same
They're controlling our minds
And they use us for fortune and fame
As you look through my window, deep into my room
At your future and freedom
The grey and plastic retards all floating in circles
And as you taste the fruit of new sensations
Softly brushing your lips
As we rise when we challenge and kill
[Chorus]
Born again
You'll be born again
Oh, oh
Born again
You'll be born again
If you want to be a king for a day, just do what I say
Born again
You'll be born again
Everybody's got to think like a hunter just search for your prey-ay-ay
Born again
You'll be born
Be alive through the night and the day, just do it my way-ay-ay

[Guitar Solo]
