Lyrics
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, there's no place to run and hide
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, damn my past and pride
From the middle of nowhere, he rides in all alone
From the pages of sin where he's grindin' flesh and bone
From the trenches of darkness, he plays his stranded hand
And the trenches of poison come seepin' from his glands
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, there's no place to run and hide
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, damn my past and pride
If you ask him nicely, perhaps he'll go away
Just move politely and beg him not to stay
With a mouthful of garbage, he spits into your eye
And an earful of pity, he'll teach you how to die
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, there's no place to run and hide
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, damn my past and pride
She stands before us with a bible in her grasp
When she opens her mouth up, you can hear the wretched rasp
Like a bucket of barnacles, she's abrasive to the skin
Like the ignorant masses that hope some day she'll win
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, there's no place to run and hide
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, damn my past and pride
Feel tragedy poundin' hard against your door
And the cancer's eatin' at your inner core
You're feelin' helpless, can't control the game
Be a fade-away socket or go out in a ball of flame, 'cause
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
No, I cannot step aside, there's no place to run and hide
Tragedy's comin' and I cannot step aside
