Lyrics
All my ambitions are buried low
Beneath this wayward skin
And the shining vessels filled with oil
Are empty once again.
The devil still gets in sometimes
Tries to drive the angels out
But the road will wipe the dust away
Til there's nothing left to sin about.
Road to heaven
Miles away
Road to freedom
My glory day
When the old days are said and done
I'll bless them in my prayers
The road was straight but strewn with rocks
And now I climb the stairs.
The dreams are more subdued this time
Passion has it's place
And maybe peace can heal me now
That I've left behind the race.
