Blade Runner Blues

You’ll find yourself on the other side of the blade You’ll find yourself on the other side of the blade You’ll find that trouble will come to you, ready-made Today you’re the hero, tomorrow you’ll be the foe Today you’re the hero, tomorrow you’ll be the foe It’s the same thing as in ancient tales long ago There ain’t no running or hiding in this wilderness Ain’t no running or hiding in this wilderness I think you’ll find nature impossible to resist God has answers that you may not hear The Good Lord has answers for you that you may not hear Listen up child, lest all the good world disappear Some people are blind to the tyrant that dwells within Some folks are sure of the rules in a game they must win Not knowing where to aim is the mark of sin The demon of vice will not be easily tamed He’ll threaten you with aggression for which you’ll be blamed Til all that’s left of your legacy is a stain The Major Judges are lining up above The trumpets are sounding, the seals have been torn and clubbed And the very last angel will sound the chaos of love Yes the Final Angel will sound the chaos of love.
