lyrics

Better Times

Sometimes we hit the road
Sometimes we hit the wall
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
If there’s a difference at all
Between the mask that laughs
And the mask that cries
Between old empires that fall
And new ones that rise

I wish my heart would break
But it’s turned to stone
I would give my kingdom for your kiss
But I’m in this castle all alone
The blinds are drawn
The doors are locked
And I’d pretend I didn’t hear you
If you ever knocked

But better times are comin’
Better times are comin’
The old man is dreamin’
Of a song he used to hear his mother hummin’
Called Better Times Are Comin’

Some people don’t believe
In that old evil spirit
But it’s right there in the mirror
If they ever dare to see it
You know I see it every day
Sometimes it’s all I do
I guess that’s what keeps me
From reachin’ out to you


Now I’m just killin’ time
So I turn on the screen
The deadliest weapon
This world has ever seen
But I turn it off again
I need a little darkness
I need a little light
From outside of this fortress

And better times are comin’
Better times are comin’
The minstrel boy is dancin’
And on the wild harp he is strummin’
Better Times Are Comin’

Your voice of hope
Borne on the air
Could lift my soul
Above the clouds of despair
But the fight is down here
The foe is among us
Can’t you hear his boot heels drummin’

Better times are comin’
Better times are comin’
Let’s sing this song together
With all the courage we can summon
Better times are comin’

Better times are comin’

Better times are comin’
