Can't stop the race
People moving in place
Running a crooked path
Place to place to place

(Paved in gold)
The chords from which we hang
(Paved in gold)
Weaken everyday
(Paved in gold)
They beg for strength
(Paved in gold)
But they are blessed by our blade

Questions on our minds
Buildings on the rise
Diamonds instead of our eyes
Corporate fights

Oh busy, busy bees
Walking to and fro
What if we close our eyes?
What if we can't wake up?

I hope you all rest in peace
I hope you find what you're looking for
But if that is all you got
Well then there's got to be more

They lay carpet that's made of red
And so we walk paths made of gold, yes
But we're blind
Way past the nose
In this tree covered earth
Yes, that's right

Can we disappear from all we got?
Can we disappear from all we got?
Can we disappear from all we got?

We are scattered on God's grace
But we are a drip
We are a flash
We are a mist
We are a speck
But we got time

A flash, drip, speck, mist
A flash, drip, speck, mist
