Lyrics
ROAD OF REST
Where do they unfold
All the paths of old?
I’ve read the ancient story, and I want to know
Where is the good way?
‘Cause I’m seeking
the road of rest for my weary soul
Can’t seem to stand still
I can’t grab ahold
Of the ever-changing-rhythm of this rock’n’roll
I’m slipping backwards
My song is decomposed by
the road of rest for my weary soul
I’ve swallowed quicksand
After sliding off the road
After drowning in the madness where I lost control
Is there salvation?
My heart has been dethroned by
the road of rest for my weary soul
Where do they unfold
All the paths of old?
Where the valleys reach the heavens and the hills erode
If you will show me
I will follow you along
The ROAD OF REST for my weary soul
