Lyrics
THE WAY OF THE GUN
And the world sits
In a drop of dew
On a blade of grass
In a forest
Where shadows waver
And the wheels of fate turn
And you have no hand in them
You just keep on soldiering soldiering on
And the dozer is coming
And you?re still running
Just not fast enough
Realities play tug of war
Inside your mind
Virtues fall by the wayside
What kind of man are you
Well the man you were
Is so far so long gone
Roland you?re a good man
The end is for the means
But the weight of your demons
Is closing doors
And we?re still ages from the end
You come in screaming
on the wings of protest
with the blood of friends
who died so long ago
