To look Medusa in the eye

To notice heaven at the side of stage

F/C                     C  
You're king inside your head
F/C                     C
You're sitting on a throne of sand

You're pushing back the tide
F/C                  C
So lift the mountain up
F/C             C

Assemble all your troops

I'll take my chance and play for tyranny

I build the sets, I light the scene

We're prettier when we are on the screen
F/C                 C
I build the sets, I light the scene
F/C                     C
We're braver when we're on the sacred screen
F/C                     C
The backstage of your life
F/C                          C
It's filled with dust and lines you should have sung
F/C                     C
The backstage of your life
F/C                     C
It's filled with echoes of the ones you loved
