A Century Ends letra David Gray A Century Ends letra |
Cast your eyes into the distance
|
Try to focus on it all
|
Find a spirit of resistance
|
Instead of pride before the fall
|
Forge some opposition
|
>From disparate strands
|
It ain't the prettiest position
|
As a century ends
|
|
Unstable situation
|
Faces made of wax
|
Streams of melting glass
|
Sheets of butchered facts
|
The roar of the machine
|
Hooded hearts and jewelled hands
|
And anger spilling out like gasoline
|
As a century ends
|
|
Everything I seen, everything that I heard It ain't even the tip of the iceberg
|
Fire down memory lane
|
So pass me my rose tinted glasses again
|
|
Through a fog of contradiction
|
Out to the lake of tears
|
See society admiring it's own reflection Chase a light that shines and disappears Careful what you say, 'cos reality offends Just sit back and let your soul decay
|
As a century ends
|
|
And it's easy to get weary
|
As you fight to get it done
|
Gainst a popular theory
|
That it's over 'fore it's even begun
|
Strain the limit of compassion
|
Tend a wound that never mends
|
And honesty still out of fashion
|
| As a century ends
|
