Lyrics
CHANCES
YOU THINK YOU?RE SO SMART
NOTHING COULD EVER GO WRONG WITH YOU
YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND
WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO
THERE ARE GRAVEYARDS FULL OF GOOD INTENTIONS
PEOPLE PLANNING FUTURE GOALS
AH THEY RISKED IT ALL TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD
AND LOST THEIR OWN SOULS
CHORUS
CHANCES, YOU PUT YOURSELF THROUGH
CHANCES, THEY?RE RUNNING OUT ON YOU
UNDERTAKER AND THE PRICE OF A MORTITION MAN
IS A SAD EPITAPH FOR ALL THA?S LEFT
THE MERE SHELL OF A MAN
IF YOU LISTEN BY FAITH YOU CAN HEAR THE SCREAMS
OUT ON THE EDGE OF TIME
OH, THEY?RE COMING FROM HELL AND IF YOU COULD HEAR
THERE?S A MESSAGE THEY?D LIKE TO TELL
CHORUS
LEAD BREAK
CHORUS
THERE ARE SO MANY CHANCES, PEOPLE OFTEN TAKE
TO WAIT ON SALVATION IS THE FIRST MISTAKE
THAT THEY OFTEN MAKE
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE BUT A VAPOR, THEN IT?S ALL BUT LOST
BUT YOU WON?T GO TO HEAVEN WITHOUT TRUSTING JESUS
AND HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS
CHORUS
