Say you will, say you won't, stand atop a rocky mountain alone
Choose a side, compromise every feeling, every truth you had known
When you face your fears, feel the passing years sanding you down
Underneath all the grief there's a wick of life wanting to be found

Given time, given wine, give into the lines made long ago
Where it goes, no one knows how to circumscribe history's throes
From the smoking gun to tomorrow's dawn, they missed their mark
Kept alive by the drive to delay their journey into the dark

Blessed strife, suffered life, when you're done the sun will set your soul free
For the rest wish the best for their progress you are never to see
All you've earned is gone, there's no right or wrong left to lay bare
Underground comes the sound of a peace the past is hoping to share
