Vindication - Queensrÿche

Look around on your hi-wire

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

As you look to the heavens

Wondering where you went wrong

Seeing, not always believing

The gavel of life coming down

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

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 the remains

As you look to the heavens

Wondering where you went wrong

This is vindication
