The past is spun like a yarn and mangled
With flesh and blood and bones
I wonder, did no one hear the distant thunder?
The stains of this creeper
Will last, the shine and the sham entangled
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces
For the dreams that you dread
As the blood that was shed
With the slash of his steel
Now the street walking dead
Was quite a scene, wasn't it?
Were promised seats by the pit
We will break away together
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
One day he will come back
So we all stood there in awe
We didn't see what we saw
With the curtain unveiled
That the king that we hailed
We will break away together
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
