0:34If we were to pass an Eleventh Commandment
0:37In twenty years people would be shocked to learn
0:40That there had once been only ten
0:43And wouldn't care if there had been
1:10It all comes down to a moment of truth
1:14Clock ticking in a soundproof booth
1:17From Corpus Christi to Duluth
1:20From Genghis Kahn to Babe Ruth
1:48If I could only see through glass
1:51I would know what has come to pass
1:54I wouldn't hurry but I'd get there fast
1:56What's last is first what's first is last
2:25Every time you feel the shift
2:28You conjure fire in a hieroglyph
2:37When you're out for revenge dig two graves
2:40When you run from the truth it comes in waves
2:56We're marching up to Zion
2:59The beautiful city of God
3:02We're marching up to Zion
3:05The beautiful city of God
3:08We're marching up to Zion
3:11The beautiful city of God
If we were to pass an Eleventh Commandment In twenty years people would be shocked to learn That there had once been only ten And wouldn't care if there had been It all comes down to a moment of truth Clock ticking in a soundproof booth From Corpus Christi to Duluth From Genghis Kahn to Babe Ruth If I could only see through glass I would know what has come to pass I wouldn't hurry but I'd get there fast What's last is first what's first is last Every time you feel the shift You conjure fire in a hieroglyph When you're out for revenge dig two graves When you run from the truth it comes in waves We're marching up to Zion The beautiful city of God We're marching up to Zion The beautiful city of God We're marching up to Zion The beautiful city of God
