You cast a stone into the water now
And watch them ripples spread like poison
Under the gun, under me
You'll feel slaughtered and betrayed
I know you put your trust in heaven's arms
Happiness eludes your being
It said the purple would open up your mind
But all I see is black and white
Anything that's made with heart and soul
Comes with a prize not worth to pay
All those years and years I struggled to
Be a hero and saint
It said the purple would open up your mind
How come all I see is black and white?
It gets us down
Walk courageously into the fire
Possessed but blessed twisted tower dire
Magic ritualistic funeral pyre
The flame's gone out but you are riding higher
Destroyed by one it takes two to compete
The winner's in this game you will defeat
Inner strength causes this confusion
Survival is the ultimate deception
It said the purple would open up your mind
How come all I see is black and white?
It gets us down
And watch them ripples spread like poison
Under the gun, under me
You'll feel slaughtered and betrayed
I know you put your trust in heaven's arms
Happiness eludes your being
It said the purple would open up your mind
But all I see is black and white
Anything that's made with heart and soul
Comes with a prize not worth to pay
All those years and years I struggled to
Be a hero and saint
It said the purple would open up your mind
How come all I see is black and white?
It gets us down
Walk courageously into the fire
Possessed but blessed twisted tower dire
Magic ritualistic funeral pyre
The flame's gone out but you are riding higher
Destroyed by one it takes two to compete
The winner's in this game you will defeat
Inner strength causes this confusion
Survival is the ultimate deception
It said the purple would open up your mind
How come all I see is black and white?
It gets us down
