Before the end of the beginning
Before the finished credits roll
There is a brief but brutal tune
Along the high and mighty road
Faces tend to run together
Names be lost and legends told
Of the ways to be forgiven
On that high and mighty road
There is a will to test the power
There is the struggle for
Control of the basic rites of passage
Along the high and mighty road
It is a journey for the taking
It is a choice that can be made
It is the soul that may be shaken
It is the spirit to be saved
There is hypocrisy and wonder
When fortunes pale and empires hold
To an ancient way of magic
Along a high and mighty road
Like money changers seeking payments
For the privilege to be so
Bold to say the train is not too crowded
For a high and mighty road
And the courage may be tested
By judgment harsh and cold
From the monitors of progress
Along that high and mighty road
There are the words that have
Been spoken
There is the life that's been portrayed
It is a promise to be broken
It is a joy that dies in three
Pale treasure, fragile beauty
Or the message is sent in
Code
Be delivered as nostalgia
On that high and mighty road
Our sacrifice and deprivation
Our spiteful paradoxes sold
As begrudging restitutions
Along that high and mighty road
And yet the faces of God
The faces
They seldom change from young to old
They only seem to grow more wasted
Along the high and mighty road
It is the future we are trading
It is the prices that we pay
It is the mind that is mistaken
It is the heart that is broken
The heart we give away
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, okay! plays Pierg rek Pos НИ μας크Íاء
