A man surveys the battlefield alone, he's not one to take sides
But with this war he notices something new The oceans wax and wane in nuclear tides Bulldozing all the soft beeches from view A silent march fills the mute air as the ranks close in Their guns primed and prepared And so the bullets fly from the loner's mind at whim His destiny had been dared And he casts a shadow Which he doesn't understand He ponders his presence Grips his weapon tight in hand Should I kill this man Will He be on my side Knowing that what I did Was the only thing I tried Does nature favor those who walk the most erect Does He builds doors for those Whose paths are most direct He sees the road define a path in front of him But beneath it all is bare Long ago, before this concrete raped the earth There were roads built everywhere Chorus: There's a sign 10 miles high at the crossroad That directs him to what he's looking for "This way to Heaven" chimes the glyphs, inked in gold But without an arrow, tells him no more The clocks which beat their hearts To the tune only of the sun Dedicate their lives to caging us in To a life of misery and failure Dictated by deadlines That cut efforts too short for us to win So when the zenith over my head houses the sun My wanting gaze drifts above In search of what kind force this Universe is run Because I don't feel this thing called love Chorus: There's a sign 10 miles high at the crossroad That directs to what I've been looking for "This way to Heaven" chimes the glyphs, inked in Spirit But without an arrow or voice, he (must) refused to hear it Copyright (c) 2003-2016 Joshua Ransom Packard
