Oh
Don't say we're better off dead
Soon we could be in remission
I said, "It's not enough"
They told me, "It'll be fine
Happiness isn't a crime son
So pick your guts from the floor"
We'll all be hanging a hero
Praying for someone to save us
Goliath says I oughta let it go
Nobody's proving me wrong
They're all singing hallelujah
Keep two eyes open
'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
We've got a mountain to climb
But I ain't got the permission
They wanna call my bluff
They said, "You're crossing the line"
I said, "It takes one to know one"
Oh, please God be merciful
'Cause they know not what they do
We should be begging for more
We'll all be hanging a hero
Praying for someone to save us
Goliath says I oughta let it go
Nobody's proving me wrong
They're all singing hallelujah
Keep two eyes open
'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Bury your head in the sand
Soon you'll be feeling the fangs
So sleep with two eyes open
'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Long live the king that's not listening
No time for rats in the gutter
Snakes coiling but we're signaling
Screaming at one another
Long live the king that's not listening
No time for rats in the gutter
Snakes coiling but we're signaling
Screaming at one another
Smoke 'em out and set a fire in the hive
They wouldn't break their stride if we were burning alive
Burning alive
The jackals live by the candlelight
They live by the candlelight
Nobody's proving me wrong
They're all singing hallelujah
Keep two eyes open
'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Bury your head in the sand
Soon you'll be feeling the fangs
So sleep with two eyes open
'Cause jackals live by the candlelight

At all times, again and again, we should make vast prayers for the sake of all beings.
When falling asleep we should think,
'May all beings achieve the absolute state'
When waking up,
'May all beings awake into the enlightened state'
When getting up,
'May all beings obtain the body of the Buddha'
When putting on clothes,
'May all beings have modesty and sense of shame'
When lighting a fire,
'May all beings burn the wood of disturbing emotions'
When eating,
When opening a door,
'May all beings open the door to the city of liberation'
When closing a door,
'May all beings close the door to lower realms'
When going outside,
'May I set out on the path to free all beings'
When walking uphill,
'May I take all beings to the higher realms'
when walking downhill,
'May I go to free beings from lower realms'
when seeing happiness,
'May all beings achieve the happiness of Buddhahood'
When seeing suffering,
'May the suffering of all beings be pacified'
