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 glass

Sheets of butchered facts

The roar of the machine

Hooded hearts and jeweled hands

And anger spilling out like gasoline

As a century ends

Everything I seen, everything that I heard

Ain't even the tip of the iceberg

Fire down memory lane

So pass me my rose tinted glasses again

Through a fog of contradiction

Out to the lake of tears

See society admiring its own reflection

Chase a light that shines and disappears

Now be careful what you say cause reality offends

Just sit back and let your soul decay

As a century ends

And its easy to get weary

As you fight to get it done

‘Gainst a popular theory

That it's over 'fore it's even begun

Strain the limit of compassion

Tend a wound that never mends, ohhh

And honesty still out of fashion

As a century ends

As a century ends

As a century ends
