Lyrics
Stay the course unregarded what the others think
(Follow through your goals)
Stay the course, be impassive what all the others want
(Go your own way)
Stand focused, stay strong
Stay the course and regardless what the critics say
(Seek your golden road)
Stay the course, be hard and fast
Reach out, achieve your goals
(Chase your own dreams)
Stay faithful, prolong
Veils that cover the sacred treasures
That no one dares imbibe
Those proclaiming different views
Were long ago proscribed
I should warn you, it’s deadly to abide
Oh, instead I taught you to bow and toe the line
Fear is what you breathe
(Disagree)
Guidance what you need
For all the chances you will never see
Trust in me
Notice the anomalies
Erase them from your memory
Fight dismay
Deny the disarray
Just keep them far away from you and fight
With all your might
Stay the course
Show no remorse
Terminate all that deters
Veils that cover the sacred treasures
That no one dares imbibe
Those proclaiming different views
Were long ago proscribed
I should warn you, it’s deadly to abide
Oh, instead I taught you to bow and toe the line
I should warn you to never compromise
Oh, instead I want you believing the disguise
