A Century Ends Lyrics

The song A Century Ends is performed by David Gray in the album named A Century Ends in the year 2003 .

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 gla*s
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 pa*s me my rose tinted gla*ses 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 compa*sion
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
