We All Run

(album: Brand New Morning - 2004)

I dreamt I saw the cities burning
At the gates I saw the angels cry
Now there'll be no turning
And still I wonder why

I dreamt I felt the hand of reason
Coming slowly down, it passed me by
It's just the killing season
Yeah, it's a foolish lie

We all run
It's a pity for everyone
It's all gone
And there's nothing that can be done
We all run
So get ready, the time has come
We all run
It's all over, the game is won

And I dreamt I took a thousand footsteps
To a sea as black and filled with tears
Now there'll be no goodness
For a thousand years

I dreamt I crossed a raging river
That was pure and clear and washed away
All my troubles wither
Into another day

We all run
It's a pity for everyone
It's all gone
And there's nothing that can be done
We all run
So get ready, the time has come
We all run
It's all over, the game is won

The cost is too much
In nothing we trust
Everything we touch
Turns into dust

We all run
It's a pity for everyone
It's all gone
And there's nothing that can be done
We all run
So get ready, the time has come
We all run
It's all over, the game is won

We all run
It's a pity for everyone
It's all gone
And there's nothing that can be done
We all run
So get ready, the time has come
We all run
It's all over, the game is won
