Lyrics
EVER SINCE DAY ONE THEY SAY
THE END IS COMING SOON.
I'D LIKE TO SIT AND STRETCH RIGHT OUT
BUT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF ROOM.
THERE'S CARS & BOMBS & PLANES & THEIVES
THAT TAKE TOO MANY LIVES.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW I FEEL
JUST LOOK INTO MY EYES.
RICH MAN HOLDS THE POOR MAN'S DEAD
LEAVING NOTHING ELSE AT STAKE.
THEY BEAT THE DRUM AND LEAVE A MARK
GRABBING ALL THAT THEY CAN TAKE.
I PULL MY HAT ACROSS MY BROW
AND FADE INTO THE LIGHT.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP
YOU GOT TO HOLD ON TO IT TIGHT.
THIS WORLD IS A CONSTANT TURN.
COME ONE DAY IT'S GOING TO BURN.
THIS WORLD SPINNING OUT IN A CONSTANT TURN.
I DRAG MY FEET THROUGH SILKY MUD
PRAY FOR RAIN TO FLOOD MY TRACKS.
EVERYTHING I NEED TO BRING
I GOT IT STRAPPED ACROSS MY BACK.
I MET A MAN ON THE OTHER SIDE
HEADING TO WHERE FROM I CAME.
SAID DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
'CAUSE EVERYWHERE'S THE SAME.
PEOPLE LIVING OUT ON THE RUN
CAUSE THEY GOT NO PLACE TO GO.
IF THEY AIN'T ALREADY THERE BY NOW
THEY AIN'T NEVER GOING TO SHOW.
THEY GUARD THE ONES THAT GOT IT ALL
TURN A DEAF EAR ON THE PACK.
THEY'RE HALFWAY DOWN THE ROADS WE PAVED
AND THEY AIN'T NEVER COMING BACK.
THIS WORLD IS A CONSTANT TURN.
COME ONE DAY IT'S GOING TO BURN.
THIS WORLD SPINNING OUT IN A CONSTANT TURN.
THE DEVIL'S RIGHT HERE ON MY TRAIL
WAITING FOR ME TO MAKE A WRONG MOVE.
I LOSE MY FOOTING I SLIP AND FALL
THERE'S A LOT THAT I CAN'T PROOVE.
I PULL MY COLLAR UP AROUND MY NECK
AND COVER UP MY FACE.
THE WINDS OF TIME TRY TO KNOCK ME DOWN
BUT IT WON'T BE IN THIS PLACE.
THERE'S A HEAVEN I KNOW THERE IS
I'VE READ IT IN SOME BOOK.
IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER WHY YOU'RE HERE
THEN TAKE A SECOND LOOK.
THE EYES CAN ONLY SEE SO FAR
THE REST IS LEFT TO FATE (FAITH).
I'LL MAKE MY PEACE BEFORE I LEAVE
THE HOUR IS GETTING LATE.
THIS WORLD IS A CONSTANT TURN.
COME ONE DAY IT'S GOING TO BURN.
THIS WORLD SPINNING OUT IN A CONSTANT TURN.
