Outrunning Death

I’ve been outrunning death since I was fourteen 
But time has come to wake the dream
And face the demon that’s been chasing me down
I’ve been many things to the people of this town
But one thing I know, one thing that’s for sure
Is that the midnight showed me something so pure
And I do not regret the darkness that descend
On a heart that was broken, never to mend
Only to realise it’s true nature
The meteor hit the earth and I was born in a crater
In the mists of time like some super to heal
I woke into the moment that I let myself feel
All of the tumult of a world on its edge
They’re invading Iraq and I writhe in my bed
Thinking of all the people that die
Because one nation doesn’t know how to cry
For the fallen, for the lost
For the ones who had to pay the cost
Of a multitude of sins
And is it always the strongest who wins
Or sometimes may it be the one with the true heart
It’s all about spirit and the taking part
In a future that we can never deny
Will lead even the strongest to die
And accept that we are of a sort of form
That only pumps blood when we are warm
And when the moment comes can we face it with grace
I learned when I was young that I had a place
In the monumental struggle for peace to abide
But I ran away and found someone where to hide
But I must level the playing field once more
I loved and I lost but it was for you, mo stór
