A Century Ends Lyrics - A Century Ends - David Gray

Cast your eyes into the distance 

Try to focus on it all 

Find a spirit of resistance 

Instead of pride before the fall 

Forge some opposition 

From disparate strands 

It ain't the prettiest position 

As a century ends 

Unstable situation 

Faces made of wax 

Streams of melting glass 

Sheets of butchered facts 

The roar of the machine 

Hooded hearts and jewelled hands 

And anger spilling out like gasoline 

As a century ends

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Everything I seen, everything that I heard 

It ain't even the top of the iceberg 

Fire down memory lane 

So pass me my rose tinted glasses again 

Through a fog of contradiction 

Out to the lake of tears 

See society admiring it's own reflection 

Chase a light that shines and disappears 

Careful what you say, 'cause reality offends 

Just sit back and let your soul decay 

As a century ends 

Photos 

And it's easy to get weary 

As you fight to get it done 

Against a popular theory 

That it's over before it's even begun 

Strain the limit of compassion 

Tend a wound that never mends 

And honesty still out of fashion 

As a century ends
