the madding crowd - the sands of time lyrics
i used to think myself unique in a world full up with bores
but now i simply think myself alone
for hatred keeps on rising like a black wave, up and up
and i fear that it will soak me to the bone
oh, i don’t want to succ-mb, and become like one of them
with their little lives that they think are so large
i will not let them crush my soul and drip-feed to me bitterness
i will not let that poison in my heart
i will not be devoured by the hatred of the world
that i’ve seen turn old friends into something alien
i will not let them sully me
i will be something beautiful
i will not let the sands of time prevail
i looked upon the wistful day with equally wistful eye
and was aghast at the the scene that met my face
this world is full of people who live to grind others down
to ensure society puts them in a higher place
and that’s the way the world does work
the bad do profit most
but we must never let them think that they have won
oh, they will try to mould you to fit what they think is right
but never let them, you are you
so let your spirit soar
i will not be devoured by the hatred of the world
that i’ve seen turn old friends into something alien
i will not let them sully me
i will be something beautiful
i will not let the sands of time prevail
the bullyman speaks
i will not be devoured by the hatred of the world
that i’ve seen turn old friends into something alien
i will not let them sully me
i will be something beautiful
i will not let the sands of time prevail
