Iced Earth - Come What May [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

As I watch through ages
And gaze upon this world
The troubled race of man
So impetuous and afraid
There's potential in this race
A man can spark hope
But in mass they do regress
A constant downward slope

How have they come so far?
Yet have so far to go?
It seems evolution stalled
On the nature of a man
From living in caves
To manned flights in space
And for all that is worth
Still the sad pathetic race

Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth
Will change your fate
It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter
Or lead the way

The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may

If you'd just look, look inside yourselves
You'll find the answers to your pain
The hardest road
The hardest road to enlightenment
Presents a constant test of your resolve
Time for you, time for you is running out
The human race must evolve
Must evolve

Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth
Will change your fate
It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter
Or lead the way

The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may, come what may

Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
As I watch through the ages
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth
Will change your fate
The troubled race of man

It's up to you and the path you choose
Seems evolution stalled
To be led to the slaughter
Or lead the way
Still a sad pathetic race

The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may
