Queensrÿche
Vindication
[Verse 1]
Look around on your highwire
Don't look down, it's a long way to fall
Suicide, the brink of extinct
It's over now

The tables have turned on life's little game
No longer the pawns, you're feeling the strain
For we are all kings with merit it brings
As we rise to the top once again

[Chorus]
As you look to the heavens
Wondering where you went wrong
Seeing, not always believing
The gavel of life coming down

[Verse 2]
Traces of the past
Flash before your eyes
Hurdle the bodies that fed you
The narcissist hungers again

Fear and control your battleground
Your truth under a shroud
A forced stranglehold, just do what you're told
As we rise to the top once again
[Chorus]
As you look to the heavens
Wondering where you went wrong
Seeing, not always believing
The gavel of life coming down

[Bridge]
Sometimes a man's word is all that he's got
And sometimes just only a name
No more suffocation, my true vindication
Ascending from all that remains

[Chorus]
As you look to the heavens
Wondering where you went wrong
Seeing, not always believing
The gavel of life coming down

As you look to the heavens
Wondering where you went wrong
This is vindication
