lyrics

He packed up all his bags where no one would see them
He never had to settle down, he never had a reason
He tried to tie up all his lose ends and put them in the past
All except one remained, he swore it'd be the last

Hell and fire in the sky and rock upon the road
Were not enough to stop him, he had to go alone
There was a flame in the sky bound to follow him
The words echoed in his head as he repeated them

If not today then tomorrow
If not tomorrow then the next day
'Cause the day after that I've gone away

On the low horizon where the mountains meet the sky
Just beyond the desert where nothing is alive
The time was drawing near but would he have all that he needed?
The mistakes of the past were bound to be repeated

Nothing out there can survive
The night slips away like sand
You'll have to make it back before it gets light
So many years you've been running away
Now you might not get a chance

If not today then tomorrow
If not tomorrow then the next day
'Cause the day after that I've gone away

Steady in his gaze in the silence of the sun
He was only waiting for the end to come
There was not a way to speak the words to her before
He faded to the night forever more

If not today then tomorrow
If not tomorrow then the next day
'Cause the day after that I've gone away
