Letra da Música Awaiting Resurrection de Drive-By Truckers

Is there an evil in this world
Yes, there's an evil in this world
Is there an evil in this world
Yes, there's an evil in this world
And it creeps up from behind you
When you are least suspecting

Is there a dog in this race
Yes, there's a dog in this race
I'm looking at this tail
But I'm thinking about his face
So I keep on pushing forward
Acquiring and collecting
Is there an absolute beginning
Or something beyond the end
Will I come back as that dog
Will I have to live through this again
The truth seems sour between us
In the spaces we're neglecting

When push comes to shove
And our devils come at us running
Will we be caught in the flood
Or something far less stunning
Will the serum keep us honest
From the answers we're deflecting

There's a voice within the void
I swear it sounds familiar
But then the truth that we've destroyed
Whispering "Come here"
And the answer is within you
But it keeps on disconnecting
There's an evil in this world
I've seen it in the news
Of babies dead in schools
Or scattered in the pews
For reasons without answers
In the dark beyond protection

I'm moving through the void
Staring down the fright show
Standing in the darkness
Just waiting for the light show
I try with all my might
To seek the truth you've been rejecting

Seeking some salvation
To the limits of my talents
I hold my family close
Just trying to find the balance
Between the bad shit going down
And the beauty this life can keep injecting
There's a whiplash in the news
In the evil mans tirades
The jokers motorcade
And military parades
Lives in the balance of the dirty deals
Made to win elections

Guns and ammunition
Babies in the cage
They say nothing can be done
But they tell us how they prayed
In the end we're just standing
Watching greatness fade
Into darkness, awaiting resurrection
