[I. Introduction]
[Instrumental]

[II. Never Pass Away]
 With the slip of hand and a boombox
 I am the man with a plan and the drum drops
 Going off to a place that I never knew
 I don't mind doin' time goin' solo
 All I know is there's so much I don't know
 I'm just lookin' for something to fall into

 I'm in control of having no control
 Drudgery days I had to let them go
 And seek to find
 Some peace in my mind
 And not look behind..

[Chorus:]
 But there's a road in the blazing sun
 There's a flow that I can't outrun
 I've got to find my life my way
 To a world that will never pass away

 In the heat of the day pushin' midnight
 I got nothing to say that's a sound byte
 Life's too short for a bottom line
 I don't want a cliche or a peep show
 Say what you gotta say and then let's go
 The world is waiting on the other side
 There was a way I lived in humble pride
 Everyday in spiritual genocide
 The desert sand
 The days of the damned
 Left holes in my hand..

[Chorus]

 But there's a road in the blazing sun
 There's a flow that I can't outrun
 I've got to find the truth my way
 To a world that will never pass away
 Never pass away

 The bottom drops out and you're nowhere
 Nowhere to be found
 Lost in the tide of the other side
 In the city of the sound
 It didn't take long to change you
 Promised son to a re-run
 But truth never dies so lift your eyes
 Forward to the... forward to the sun

[III. Losing Your Soul]
 Live like a face card hangin' in the window
 You're a big band blastin' on the 4th of July
 You got the babe Nazi - got the paparazzi
 You can tell them all to wait 'cause their rules don't apply.. let's fly!

 Jesus you loved him once when you were little
 But you can't play second fiddle for some pie in the sky
 Now the nice kid's cigar is gettin' fatter
 But it doesn't really matter cause we're all gonna die
 And you lie ? while gain the world's control
 You might be losing your soul

 The Calendar kid and the thin Mad Hatter
 They all keep getting fatter from the seeds that you sow
 It's really all you; you tell them you're a family
 You're a racer-embracer but it's all just a show
 So you lie ? you might hit the highest goal
 But you're still losing your soul
 So you lie - while you gain the world's control
 You might be losing your soul
 You might be losing your soul

[IV. The Mystery]
 Looking back you're reminded of the numerous losses
 The losses that you knew from a previous plauge
 In spite of the knowing and rather than growing
 You come up with excuses intentionally vague

 With obvious lack of heartfelt care
 Stripped of all feeling emotionally bare
 You find yourself just standing there
 Trying to explain the mystery

 Stagnant love of former generations
 Built on pretense and conditional love
 Your selfish soul feeds on past revelation
 Holding the mystery in history's glove

 With obvious lack of heartfelt care
 Stripped of all feeling emotionally bare
 You find yourself just standing there
 Trying to explain the mystery

[V. Some Kind Of Yesterday]
 Timeline
 Leaves you blind
 No sense of depth or height
 Beyond you
 You step into
 The raining rays of light

 Some kind of yesterday
 Is calling you from world's away
 And I've come to let you know
 You can't get in without letting go
 Let this other life
 Have
 Control

 Sunshine
 Pours like wine
 You're standing at the door
 A silhouette
 It's like you've met
 But never known before

 Some kind of yesterday
 Is calling you from world's away
 And I've come to let you know
 You can't get in without letting go

 Some kind of yesterday
 Is calling you from world's away
 The one you believed it then
 Whoever love for you will never end
 He's calling you to rise
 Rise Again!

[VI. Never Pass Away (Reprise)]
 So the days in the desert sand
 Makes the way for the happy man
 By the blood of his greatest friend
 Comes the one who has life again

 'Cause there's a road in the blazing sun
 There's a truth that I can't outrun
 He led me out from the smoke and ash
 With his love that'll never pass away

 There's not much more I have to say
 But that this place isn't far away
 For all the ones lookin' for a place to stand
 For everyone stranded in the cold dry land

 There's a road in the blazing sun
 There's a truth that I can't outrun
 He'll raise us up from the smoke and ash
 There's a love that'll never pass away

 There's a day that'll surely come
 When we'll rise like the blazing sun
 And we'll stand glorious at last
 In a world that'll never pass
 It'll never pass
 It'll never pass away
