David Gray - A Century Ends Lyrics

Send "A Century Ends" ringtone to your cell

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 jeweled hands oh

And anger spilling out like gasoline

As a century ends

And everythin' I seen everythin' that I heard

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 its own reflection

Chase a light that shine and disappears

And be 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

Against a popular theory

That it's over before it's even begun

Strain the limit of compassion

Tend a wound that never mends oh

And honesty still out of fashion

As a century ends

As a century ends

As a century ends

As a century ends
