We waste our time with big illusions Talking to the walls But Jericho will never fall We sold our trumpets long ago Exchanging all the best we had Into atomic masterplans We read the books we had our chance We spend the world for just one dance So keep on dancing, all you fools The cups of fury have been filled So keep on dancing, all you clowns Lets have a sip before we're killed So keep on dancing These politicians make me sigh Democracy is just a lie As long as we are rich enough Each gouvernment will do for us We feed like vampires on the world We are the first, they are the third There ain't no hope, we had our chance We spent the world for one last dance So keep on dancing ... 7 seals 7 trumpets 7 plagues 7 cups 7 angels The scarlet beast Mother of harlots Faithful and true
