The Thousand Names Of God
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking forever is a long long time
Destiny is just the same old line
The war has come and we have let it come
The war for the blood of the chosen one
All you see is illusion
And all you feel is mute confusion
The war is never over
No-one ever sees the black machine
You'll never fill my shoes
Out on the killing floor the eagle screams
Bad man luck and bad man dreams
No you cannot kill the time
You will not have to choose
And then you'll have to pay your dues
You don't care about the pain
You will survive the day
And speak the thousand names of God
Outside the law is such a lonely place
Running and hiding trying to change your face
The war is come and we don't understand
The war for the world and the future man
All of your days are dying
All of the doomsday birds are flying
The war is never over
Nobody ever wants to hear the truth
To much like talking blame
The way we are we are the living proof
Bad news boogie and sunk in shame
No you cannot kill the time
You will not have to choose
And then you'll have to pay your dues
You don't care about the pain
You will survive the day
And speak the thousand names of God
Under the world is only dead and cold
And you still think that you can save your soul
The war is come and we have washed our hands
Bathed in the blood of the fighting man
All of your hearts are broken
And all the magic words are spoken
The war is never over
You'll never walk out of this poison ground
You'll never be the one
Your head will never get to wear the crown
No luck left when hope is gone
No you cannot kill the time
You will not have to choose
And then you'll have to pay your dues
You don't care about the pain
You will survive the day
And speak the thousand names of God
