Awaiting Resurrection
Is there an evil in this world? Yes, there's an evil in this world Is there an evil in this world? Yes, there's an evil in this world And it creeps up from behind you When you are least suspectin' Is there a dog in this race? Yes, there's a dog in this race I'm lookin' at his tail But I'm thinkin' about his face So I keep on pushin' forward Acquirin' and collectin' Is there an absolute beginnin', Or something beyond the end? Will I come back as that dog? Will I have to live through this again? The truth seeps out between us In the spaces that we're neglecting When push comes to shove And our devils come at us running Will we be caught in the flood, Or something far less stunning? Will that serum keep us honest, SongtexteFrom the answers we're deflecting? There's a voice within the void And I swear it sounds familiar Within the truths that we've destroyed Whisperin', "Come here" And the answer is within you But it keeps on disconnecting There's an evil in this world I've seen it in the news Of babies dead in schools Or scattered in the pews For reasons without answers In the dark, beyond protection I'm moving through the void Starin' down the fright show Standin' in the darkness Just waiting for the light show I try with all my might To seek the truth you've been rejecting Seeking some salvation To the limits of my talents I hold my family close Just tryin' to find the balance Between the bad shit goin' down And the beauty this life can keep injecting There's a whiplash in the news And the evil man's tirades A joker's motorcade And military parades Lives in the balance of the dirty deals made To win elections Guns and ammunition, babies in a cage They say nothing can be done But they tell us how they prayed In the end, we're just standin' watchin' greatness fade Into darkness, awaiting resurrection Aus Songtexte Mania
