The Way It Goes Lyrics

It's the way it goes when you think you got the time

On a rainy night and the high priest's on his way

To the altar of the shrine

Where all the people go to have their sins forgiven

Where false prophets sell the hate they call religion

Leaving mothers to weep softly for the children that they've lost

It's the way it feels when you think that you got the right

On a busy day and the rich man's on his way

To the statue of the temple

Where all the poor ones go to have their dreams redemption

Where fake healers sell the lies they call salvation

Leaving children to cry gently for the meaning that they've lost

It's the way it goes when you think you done it right

In the darkest time and the reaper's on his way

To the prison of the flesh

Where all the people go to find their time has ended

Where true believers spin the myths they call forever

Leaving others to bravely search for the truth that they have lost

It's the way it stops when you think you've done enough

In the safest place and the thinker's on his way

To the keepers of the truth

Where no one ever goes to face that their will is broken

Where blind leaders preach the greed that they call progress

Leaving everyone to pay the price that they call freedom
