I've learned to mistrust the obvious, you know, I've seen the golden rule,
The almighty dollar says "In God We Trust"',
but who has the gold makes the rules,
It's a race for glory that knows no shame;
it'll drive a man to his knees,
Building names on the ruins of another's fame
in a world that wants to be deceived.

Now we're standing in a war zone,
See the pride of power like we've never known,
Dancing on a volcano
while hearts are waxing so cold.

Standing in a war zone.

Great illusion, mass confusion
while contending for the faith,
On the seat of desolation
is the spirit of this age,
Goal to chain a human soul
as they're waiting for the curtain call,
Yeah, their cries are heard around the world:
And justice for all.

Now we're standing in a war zone,
See the pride of power like we've never known,
Dancing on a volcano,
Ain't no surrender when it's said and done,
Standing in a war zone,
From the throne of action there's nowhere to run,
Dancing on a volcano,
and the battle rages on and on.

Standing in a war zone,
We're on a volcano.

Standing in the war zone,
The pride of power we've never known,
Dancing on a volcano,
No surrender, it's said and done.

We're standing,
Yeah, we're standing,
Standing in a war, war zone,
We're dancing,
Oh, we're dancing on a volcano.

Yeah, we're standing in a war zone,
See the pride of power like we've never known,
Dancing on a volcano,
Ain't no surrender when it's said and done,
Standing in a war zone,
From the throne of action there's nowhere to run,
Dancing on a volcano,
and the battle rages on and on.

Standing in a war zone,
On a volcano,
Standing in a war zone.

You know we're standing in a war zone.
