A Sign of the Ages

It's a sign of the ages
Markings on my mind
A Man at the crossroads
At odds with an angry skyThere can be no salvation
There can be no rest
Until all old customs
Are put to the testThe gods are all angry
You hear from the breeze
As night slams like a hammer
Yeah, and you drop to your kneesThe questions can't be answered
You're always haunted by the past
The world's full of children
Who grew up too fastYeah, but where can you run
Since there ain't no world of your own
And you know that no one will ever miss you, yeah yeah yeah
When you're finally goneSo you cry like a baby, a baby
Or you go out and get high
But there ain't no peace on Earth, man
Maybe peace when you die, yeah
