作曲 : Cale, Neuwirth | |
Before the end of the beginning, before the finish credits role, there is a brief but brutal truth along the high and mighty road. | |
Faces tend to run together, names be lost and legends told, of the ways to be forgiven on that high and mighty road. | |
There is a will to test the power, there is the struggle for control of the basic rights of passage along the high and mighty road. | |
It is a journey for the taking, it is a choice that can be made. | |
It is the soul that may be shaken, it is the spirit to be sane. | |
There is hypocrisy and wonder, when fortunes pale and empires home to an ancient way of magic along a high and mighty road. | |
Money changers seeking payments for the priviledged to be so bold, to say the train is not too crowded for a high and mighty road. | |
And the courage may be tested, by judgement harsh and cold, from the monitors of progress along that high and mighty road. | |
There are the words that have been spoken, there is the life that's been portayed, it is a promise to be broken, it is the joy that dies in vain. | |
Pale treasure, fragile beauty, or the messages set in coal, we delivered as nostalgic on that high and mighty road. | |
Sacrifice and deprivation are spiteful paradoxes sold as begrudging restitutions along that high and mighty road. | |
And yet the faces, oh | |
God the faces, they seldom change from young to old, they only seem to grow more brazen along the high and mighty road. | |
It is the future we are trading, it is the prices that we pay, it is the mind that is mistaken, it is the heart we give away. |
