David Gray - A Century Ends Lyrics
Cast your eyes into the distanceTry to focus on it allFind a spirit of resistanceInstead of pride before the fallForge some oppositionFrom disparate strandsIt aint the prettiest positionAs a century endsUnstable situationFaces made of waxStreams of melting glassSheets of butchered factsThe roar of the machineHooded hearts and jewelled handsAnd anger spilling out like gasolineAs a century endsEverything I seen, everything that I heard,Aint even the tip of the icebergFire down memory laneSo pass me my rose tinted glasses againThrough a fog of contradictionOut to the lake of tearsSee society admiring its own reflectionChase a light that shines and disappearsCareful what you say cos reality offendsJust sit back and let your soul decayAs a century endsAnd its easy to get wearyAs you fight to get it donegainst a popular theoryThat its over fore its even begunStrain the limit of compassionTend a wound that never mendsAnd honesty still out of fashionAs a century ends
