 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
