Dust of Time - ZOO-PA

The clock strikes the hour when a decision has to be made A decision made by the life you held as you wither away Now that the bill comes due, which gate will you walk through Time evaporates into nothingness Years down the drain and only a few remain You will receive what you were promised You will be afforded what you deserved Either a crown of relief or a crown of torment This war wages on in every single person the light and the dark But the dark will never prevail if you keep Christ in your heart The inner struggles that you faced, did you ever give in So either choose the darkness or Destroy it with the full force of heaven The illusions are tough to see through or was it by design All of creation shouts the truth will set you free Walking the tight rope between order and chaos This game that is played is lost most often Free will is the reality but you can't serve two masters When seeking freedom do you know which king that you sought This war wages on in every single person the light and the dark But the dark will never prevail if you keep Christ in your heart The inner struggles that you faced, did you ever give in So either choose the darkness or Destroy it with the full force of heaven As you lie down and the light fades from your eyes Fades from your eyes Do you know who will meet you at the final hour to be your guide

Steppin' out on the great lawn in the new green shoots of a crop There was a wind in the wild rough grasses and a broad swelling heat when it stops Standin' at the edge of creation at the base of the throne of the sky By the mouth of the Tennessee River where the birds of another world fly Well I must be on my way the share croppers say there's barely even work for them. I'll come rolling back to town when my fortune comes around. Come and see your daughter again. I directed my stride to the river and the near by great beyond The broken stalkes of the harvest, pale as bone in the dawn Pulled forward and drawn onward like water called to the sea My hands are always full or empty and my boots are always carrying me. A big eyed girl in the hallway. Borrowed light from the moon I kissed her lips with my own mouth I swear I will be back soon. I caught hope one handed. It was two days old in the dirt. My arms grew weak in their sockets like tender stalks of longing and hurt If these are the fields of reckoning, If these are the days to debate I would love to stay and talk it over but sir I am afraid it's to late.

There's a light in the kitchen, somebody's home A woman is sleeping, a man sits alone Alone, all alone. Then comes the dawning Then comes the morn The woman is yawning And daylight is born. The roar of an engine The coffee pot perks Then off to the office to a room full of jerks Again, once again (Chorus) I don't know where I'm going but I'll get there. Sometimes I'm wondering where will it be? On the Riviera A man was painting Greece The image that he captured- Hercules and the golden fleece Again, once again Evening came and found him His paintings looking fine He put away his brushes And went out for some wine Again, once again Having met a woman They went out for some air He loved her like his paintings And he wondered if she cared Did she care? (Chorus) Now there is a farmer With calloused hands and feet The wagon wheel is busted The kids have yet to eat, again Once again. They gathered at the table With loving in their eyes He looked at them contently He looked at them he looked at them he looked at them He looked at them with pride Once again And when the meal was over He kissed them all goodnight And sat down by the fire feeling everything was right All right, once again (Chorus) This is a song about lifestyles Decisions that we make Roads that we abandon And others that we take We take - roads we take
