Verse 2 (with Verse Riff): "And to this day she's glided on Always home but so far away Like a word misplaced, nothing said, what a waste When she had contact with the conflict There was meaning but she sold him to the state She had to turn around" [Chorus 2] "When she couldn't hold, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest path A dissident, a dissident is here" Repeat 4 times:
