A Sign Of The Ages

It's a sign of the ages

Markings on my mind

Men at the crossroads

At odds with an angry scab



There can be no salvation

There can be no rest

Until all old customs

Are put to the test



The gods are all angry

You hear from the breeze

As night slams like a hammer

Yeah, and you drop to your knees



The questions can't be answered

You're always haunted by the past

The world's full of children

Who grew up too fast



Yeah, but where can you run

Since there ain't no world of your own

And you know that no one will ever miss you, yeah yeah yeah

When you're finally gone



So you cry like a baby, a baby

Or you go out and get high

But there ain't no peace on Earth, man

Maybe peace when you die, yeah
