If I ride on the rails
A simple solution is all I require
If the strain on your conscience gets under your skin
To the grave from the cradle
A simple conclusion is all I require
And all of the hypocrites lie through their teeth
How much longer can all this go on?
And all of the questions with no proper answers
Like "Hanging Tree," this is as much about sound and mood as it is about the lyrics. In fact, everything I said about "Hanging Tree" could be said about this, and vice versa.
I shall ride them alone
And if I need all this pain
I will find it alone
If I'm wanted for leaving
I will leave here alone
And if I can't resist this
Then I am unfit to go on
If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free
Let there be peace
And leads you to making a sacrifice
Sacrifice me
Let there be peace
We don't rock anymore
Now I stand here with both feet
Planted firm on the floor
And if you're planning a future
Of indefinite grace
You'd better start removing
The lines of deceit from your face
If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free
Let there be peace
Talk about making a sacrifice
Sacrifice me
Let there be peace
How many more choices can one person have?
Continue continue
Have to go on, have to go on, have to go on
Should I bend down and worship the ground
Of the beautiful people who live without flaws?
Success is a virtue to share with the world
But failure's a lesson that's best learned alone
Respect is a virtue that strong men command
But when words become weapons
There'll be peace in the valley of death when I rise
Peace in the valley of death when I rise...
