Come What May - Iced Earth

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 in masse 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

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

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

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

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
