Song Description

Is there some point to all this? Hope so, 'cause it's rough. Angels and devils fighting for a man's soul.

Lyrics

Really Good Reason

I know there?s a really good reason for this
there must be a really good reason for this
there better be a really good reason for this
?cause this might really suck
My soul is being forged in the fire
tempered against the lord of desire
vanities burned on the funeral pyre
of the death of fame and luck

You know better, oh master of fate
I?m just a fool, so easily misled
Hung up on the wheel of love and hate
caught between the quick and the dead

All trivialities cast aside
broken windows and shattered pride
spoken whispers and homilies lied
under the burning cloud
And on our frailties let us not skimp
Mr. Lucifer leads the blind imp
up on the stage right alongside the chimp
to face the jabbering crowd

You know better, oh king of all time
I limp along, half-crippled inside
wandering streets all echoed in rhyme
a difficult walk but a real easy ride

A moment barreling down eternity?s track
another memory piled up on the old man?s back
might this be the straw that causes that camel to crack?
If it is, I?m out of luck
I can hear that fat lady cluck
and this might really suck
