"Come What May" lyrics
"Come What May"
As I watch through the ages
And gaze upon this world
The troubled race of man
So impetuous and afraid
There's potential in this race
A man can spark hope
But in masse they do regress
A constant downward slope
How have they come so far
Yet have so far to go
It seems evolution stalled
On the nature of a man
From living in caves
To manned flights in space
And for all that is worth
Still the sad pathetic race
[Chorus:]
Can't you see what's plain as day
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth will change your fate
It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may
[Bridge:]
If you'd just look
Look inside yourselves
You'll find the answers to your pain
The hardest road
The hardest road to enlightenment
Presents a constant test
Of your resolve
Time for you
Time for you is running out
The human race must evolve
Must evolve
[Chorus:]
Can't you see what's plain as day
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth will change your fate
It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may
[back-vocals:]
As I watch through the ages
The troubled race of man
Seems evolution stalled
Still a sad pathetic race
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may

Overkill - "Ironbound" One by one, doing the crime
Never thought twice, never did time

Pyramaze - "A Beautiful Death" See what stands before us
Legions of men
Basking in this moment

Arrows let fly

Warriors cry

Rais'd to plunder the foreign isles

Surviv'd a thousande souls

No demon lords tear us...
Orden Ogan - "Nobody Leaves" They cut away
The sickness
Out of all of us
They wash away
The pain
Wash it away
Now everyone
Is dead
There's nothing
To regret
As the world goes
Down the drain
Into the pit
Into the fire

Falconer - "Decadence Of Dignity" When profit shows his face
Our sense of clarity is washed away
Spinning round the axle of greed
Don't let the economy stagnate
For it's our creed
I turn my head away in shame
As you crave for more...
