Magnum (band) - On The 13th Day lyrics

Well, there's a hundred million souls All looking for redemption But most of them are digging holes To bury their intentions We treat it like a sacred shrine And then we lose all faith So everybody walks the line The guilty and misplaced With eyes that are swollen and tearful We all take a bow It pa**es the time for a moment But what happens now? Down the streets, somehow dead and empty Watch the people pray Stand in line, wishing they had plenty On the thirteenth day What's happening in the world today? There's nothing but confusion You can't believe a word they say I've come to that conclusion But something tells me it's all wrong It's not the way to go I think we knew it all along But didn't want to show We capture the words that were spoken They hang in your mind But surely they all will be broken And slowly unwind Down the streets, somehow dead and empty Watch the people pray Stand in line, wishing they had plenty On the thirteenth day Pure in heart, there's no time to worry Some get pushed away They won't touch, ‘cause their hands are bloody On the thirteenth day Down the streets, somehow dead and empty Watch the people pray Stand in line, wishing they had plenty On the thirteenth day Pure in heart, there's no time to worry Some get pushed away They won't touch, ‘cause their hands are bloody On the thirteenth day
