I know what you're thinking
"How did I get here?"
They say you're delusional
You have nothing to fear
But then you hear the door close behind you
It's time again
The feeling is mutual
Pervading mistrust
Tenseness to tedium
Bones turn to dust
But then you hear the whole conversation
It's time again
THEY'RE RINGING THE DINNER BELL
THEY'RE READY TO START
THEY CALL YOU AMBASSADOR
AMBASSADOR TO THE HEART
You enter the stadium
Look into the light
You plead for your destiny
Avoiding the night
Admit you were wrong
Give into the truth
No one is fooled by
Your clever disguise of youth
DOWN ON THE KILLING FLOOR
A VOICE CALLS YOUR NAME
PULLING YOU DEEPER
INTO THE FLAMES
THEY'RE RINGING THE DINNER BELL
THEY'RE READY TO START
THEY CALL YOU AMBASSADOR
AMBASSADOR TO THE HEART
