Paroles: Iced Earth. The Crucible Of Man (Something Wicked Part II). Come What May.

As I watch through the ages and gaze upon this world
The troubled race of man so impetuous and afraid
There's potential in this race, a man can spark hope
But in mass they do regress, a constant downward slope

How have they come so far, yet have so far to go
It seems evolution stalled on the nature of a man
From living in caves to manned flights in space
And for all that it's worth, still the sad pathetic race

Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth will change your fate

It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes, come what may?

If you'd just look, look inside yourselves
You'll find the answers to your pain
The hardest road to enlightenment
Presents a constant test of your resolve
Time for you is running out
The human race must evolve, must evolve

Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth will change your fate

It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes, come what may?

Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth will change your fate

It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes, come what may?
