Sooner or Later
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.
We burned the boats to ashes
After beaching on the shore
Looked back across the ocean
And said we’re never going home
Our shadows killed the flowers
Our footsteps spoiled the land
It seems we’re always in the way
No matter where choose to stand
Can we just wait until this is over
If we know that our precious time is running out?
Sooner or later
Comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later
We all have to go home
Sooner or later there’s a time
To face the music, face the sound
Sooner or later we all have to go
Home
From the gods we all seek favor
With every sacrificial lamb
But the bodies all pile higher
And the blood just stains our hands
And soon we’ll feel the panic
In our breath and in our veins
When you know there’s no tomorrow
And you’ve realized too late
Still, we wait
While our precious time is running out
Sooner or later
Comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later
We all have to go home
Sooner or later there’s a time
To face the music, face the sound
Sooner or later we all have to go
Home
Are we just passengers so sick of waiting
For this final destination?
Where we all will end up, I would die to know
Die to know that place
Sooner or later
Comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later
We all have to go home
Sooner or later comes a time
When we’ll have nowhere left to run
Sooner or later we all have to go
Home
