World Without End
[I. Introduction] [Instrumental] [II. Never Pass Away] With the slip of hand and a boombox I am the man with a plan and the drum drops Going off to a place that I never knew I don't mind doin' time goin' solo All I know is there's so much I don't know I'm just lookin' for something to fall into I'm in control of having no control Drudgery days I had to let them go And seek to find Some peace in my mind And not look behind.. [Chorus:] But there's a road in the blazing sun There's a flow that I can't outrun I've got to find my life my way To a world that will never pass away In the heat of the day pushin' midnight I got nothing to say that's a sound byte Life's too short for a bottom line SongtexteI don't want a cliche or a peep show Say what you gotta say and then let's go The world is waiting on the other side There was a way I lived in humble pride Everyday in spiritual genocide The desert sand The days of the damned Left holes in my hand.. [Chorus] But there's a road in the blazing sun There's a flow that I can't outrun I've got to find the truth my way To a world that will never pass away Never pass away The bottom drops out and you're nowhere Nowhere to be found Lost in the tide of the other side In the city of the sound It didn't take long to change you Promised son to a re-run But truth never dies so lift your eyes Forward to the... forward to the sun [III. Losing Your Soul] Live like a face card hangin' in the window You're a big band blastin' on the 4th of July You got the babe Nazi - got the paparazzi You can tell them all to wait 'cause their rules don't apply.. let's fly! Jesus you loved him once when you were little But you can't play second fiddle for some pie in the sky Now the nice kid's cigar is gettin' fatter But it doesn't really matter cause we're all gonna die And you lie ? while gain the world's control You might be losing your soul The Calendar kid and the thin Mad Hatter They all keep getting fatter from the seeds that you sow It's really all you; you tell them you're a family You're a racer-embracer but it's all just a show So you lie ? you might hit the highest goal But you're still losing your soul So you lie - while you gain the world's control You might be losing your soul You might be losing your soul [IV. The Mystery] Looking back you're reminded of the numerous losses The losses that you knew from a previous plauge In spite of the knowing and rather than growing You come up with excuses intentionally vague With obvious lack of heartfelt care Stripped of all feeling emotionally bare You find yourself just standing there Trying to explain the mystery Stagnant love of former generations Built on pretense and conditional love Your selfish soul feeds on past revelation Holding the mystery in history's glove With obvious lack of heartfelt care Stripped of all feeling emotionally bare You find yourself just standing there Trying to explain the mystery [V. Some Kind Of Yesterday] Timeline Leaves you blind No sense of depth or height Beyond you You step into The raining rays of light Some kind of yesterday Is calling you from world's away And I've come to let you know You can't get in without letting go Let this other life Have Control Sunshine Pours like wine You're standing at the door A silhouette It's like you've met But never known before Some kind of yesterday Is calling you from world's away And I've come to let you know You can't get in without letting go Some kind of yesterday Is calling you from world's away The one you believed it then Whoever love for you will never end He's calling you to rise Rise Again! [VI. Never Pass Away (Reprise)] So the days in the desert sand Makes the way for the happy man By the blood of his greatest friend Comes the one who has life again 'Cause there's a road in the blazing sun There's a truth that I can't outrun He led me out from the smoke and ash With his love that'll never pass away There's not much more I have to say But that this place isn't far away For all the ones lookin' for a place to stand For everyone stranded in the cold dry land There's a road in the blazing sun There's a truth that I can't outrun He'll raise us up from the smoke and ash There's a love that'll never pass away There's a day that'll surely come When we'll rise like the blazing sun And we'll stand glorious at last In a world that'll never pass It'll never pass It'll never pass away Aus Songtexte Mania
