I know I won't change, I have tried Was feeling so caged, hands tied I can't find anything feeling so right, it's blinding hope The reaper is close, seen his smile A matter of time, can't deny I won't turn around, around, around This destiny's mine The countdown has begun the walls are falling down my life is on the line the freedom is mine It's dangerous to sacrifice It makes your blood run to throw the dice It's dangerous, it's what you like It's what you'll die for to live this life We're going on and we'll never stop We're going on 'til worlds collide It's dangerous So dangerous Dangerous I know it's not safe, close my eyes I search for the edge of life 'cause that's the only place I'll ever find that makes me whole A thief in the night, out of sight It's out there waiting to ignite the fever will rise, rise, rise taking over my mind The countdown has begun the walls are falling down my life is on the line the freedom is mine... It's dangerous to sacrifice It makes your blood run to throw the dice It's dangerous, it's what you like It's what you'll die for to live this life We're going on and we'll never stop We're going on 'til worlds collide It's dangerous So dangerous Dangerous Nothing matters anyhow It's like I'm floating off the ground Into the hands of air I dive Rays of light flashing by Like the time is slowing down When the world is out of sight All the memories in my mind Won't leave me behind It's dangerous(dangerous) It's dangerous (dangerous) It's dangerous! It's dangerous to sacrifice It makes your blood run to throw the dice It's dangerous, it's what you like It's what you'll die for to live this life We're going on and we'll never stop We're going on 'til worlds collide It's dangerous So dangerous Dangerous
