Malpractice - The Long Run lyrics

[My personal favourite on the album. Some very intense and complex guitar acrobatics on this one. Basically my version of "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" lyrics-wise. Not that many songs kick off with the chorus. This one does.] What if I stumble will I fall? What if there is no end at all? What if I'm running an endless race? What if there is no second place? Dreams betrayed by dreams A random observation Guidelines get blurred Without guidance. It's a fine line between man and divinity A straight line from fame to an ex-celebrity A quick glance over my shoulder Just miles of empty road Sweat burning my eyes Feet ache on led road Another mile for me Another scenery The race is on But somehow I'm alone I used to know them all But someone proved me wrong Their names are gone but faces I remember What if I stumble will I fall? What if there is no end at all? What if I'm running an endless race? What if there is no second place? The sun just pa**ed the zenith I watch as it slowly sets Just keep on running exhausted As a man ever gets Stagnant is my progression Yet I'm right on course To finish first, cross the line To win the race of course Another mile for me Another scenery The race is on But somehow I'm alone I used to know them all But someone proved me wrong Their names are gone but faces I remember What if I stumble will I fall? What if there is no end at all? What if I'm running an endless race? What if there is no second place?
