One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
But you feel alive
Lay your hands on me
One last time
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

The Harsh Truth OUT THERE
@Xinia Hernandez The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.
The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
