LRC Lyrics download
[00:01.53]It's a sign of the ages
[00:09.57]Markings on my mind
[00:16.71]A Man at the crossroads
[00:24.66]At odds with an angry sky
[00:30.18]There can be no salvation
[00:39.27]There can be no rest
[00:45.06]Until all old customs
[00:48.33]Are put to the test
[01:00.00]The gods are all angry
[01:09.36]You hear from the breeze
[01:14.58]As night slams like a hammer
[01:21.84]Yeah, and you drop to your knees
[01:29.19]The questions can't be answered
[01:36.30]You're always haunted by the past
[01:43.68]The world's full of children
[01:52.23]Who grew up too fast
[02:56.76]Yeah, but where can you run
[03:03.90]Since there ain't no world of your own
[03:10.71]And you know that no one will ever miss you, yeah yeah yeah
[03:19.17]When you're finally gone
[03:24.63]So you cry like a baby, a baby
[03:32.91]Or you go out and get high
[03:39.39]But there ain't no peace on Earth, man
[03:46.20]Maybe peace when you die, yeah

It's a sign of the ages
Markings on my mind
A Man at the crossroads
At odds with an angry sky
There can be no salvation
There can be no rest
Until all old customs
Are put to the test
The gods are all angry
You hear from the breeze
As night slams like a hammer
Yeah, and you drop to your knees
The questions can't be answered
You're always haunted by the past
The world's full of children
Who grew up too fast
Yeah, but where can you run
Since there ain't no world of your own
And you know that no one will ever miss you, yeah yeah yeah
When you're finally gone
So you cry like a baby, a baby
Or you go out and get high
But there ain't no peace on Earth, man
Maybe peace when you die, yeah
