SECOND TO LAST

Well the rings around the earth were still
then the gravity took hold
The grain ran through the roller mill
The straw spun into gold
Every line that streaks a weathered cheek
Holds a tale yet to be told

These are folk but this ain’t lore
things like these have come before

CHORUS
It’s a momentary flash
that has only got a second to last
a present perfect then it’s past
and it’s only got a second to last

Yeah, what formed in stone through every age
is a shadow cast in light
like the moving type that strikes the page
in vivid black and white
a document saved, a flag is waved
a win without a fight

Folded paper, triple score
things like these have come before

CHORUS
BRIDGE

Those who wait in line will try to place
a hand upon the throne
while the runner dares to win the race
Not on wheels but on will alone

CHORUS
