lyrics

As the tale is told
As the dream unfolds
As the tension grows
While I'm growing older

Sometimes I think it's damned
And that misery's part of the plan

I believe when it comes down to it
I'll retrieve you from the bottom of it
Oh Lord, If I run out of time
I'll make a break for the final mile.

If my legs are tired
And my passion is all but mired
And each obstacle waits
To pollute my mind with hating what we are

I believe when it comes down to it
I'll retrieve you from the bottomless pit
Oh Lord, If I run out of fire
I'll make a break for the final mile.

If my soul is lost
And my spirit is drowned by the cost
If I don't feel that my body is loaned
If I own anything, then I am owned.

I believe when it comes down to it
I'll retrieve you from the bottom of it
Oh Lord, If I run out of time
I'll make a break for the final mile.
