Iced Earth - Come What May lyrics

As I watch through the ages And gaze upon this world The troubled race of man So impetuous and afraid There's potential in this race A man can spark hope But en ma**e they do regress A constant downward slope How have they come so far Yet have so far to go It seems evolution stalled On the nature of a man From living in caves To manned flights in space And for all that is worth Still the sad pathetic race (Chorus) Can't you see what's plain as day It's always been there inside of you One saving grace that's hard to face Embracing the truth will change your fate It's up to you and the path you choose To be led to the slaughter or lead the way The quest for light, a worthwhile fight Will you have what it takes? Come what may (Bridge) If you'd just look Look inside yourselves You'll find the answers to your pain The hardest road The hardest road to enlightenment Presents a constant test Of your resolve Time for you Time for you is running out The human race must evolve Must evolve (Chorus) Can't you see what's plain as day It's always been there inside of you One saving grace that's hard to face Embracing the truth will change your fate It's up to you and the path you choose To be led to the slaughter or lead the way The quest for light, a worthwhile fight Will you have what it takes? Come what may (back-vocals) As I watch through the ages The troubled race of man Seems evolution stalled Still a sad pathetic race Will you have what it takes? Come what may
