On the 13th Day - Magnum

Well, there’s a hundred million souls

All looking for redemption

But most of them are digging holes

To bury their intentions

We treat it like a sacred shrine

And then we lose all faith

So everybody walks the line

The guilty and misplaced

With eyes that are swollen and tearful

We all take a bow

It passes the time for a moment

But what happens now?

Down the streets, somehow dead and empty

Watch the people pray

Stand in line, wishing they had plenty

On the thirteenth day

What’s happening in the world today?

There’s nothing but confusion

You can’t believe a word they say

I’ve come to that conclusion

But something tells me it’s all wrong

It’s not the way to go

I think we knew it all along

But didn’t want to show

We capture the words that were spoken

They hang in your mind

But surely they all will be broken

And slowly unwind

Down the streets, somehow dead and empty

Watch the people pray

Stand in line, wishing they had plenty

On the thirteenth day

Pure in heart, there’s no time to worry

Some get pushed away

They won’t touch, ‘cause their hands are bloody

On the thirteenth day

Down the streets, somehow dead and empty

Watch the people pray

Stand in line, wishing they had plenty

On the thirteenth day

Pure in heart, there’s no time to worry

Some get pushed away

They won’t touch, ‘cause their hands are bloody

On the thirteenth day
