"Road to Yerevan" - 7th Order
(Pugh/Jones) 2004@7th Order Songs ASCAP
we're pulling out when the convoy appears
the time is up when you hear the whine of the gears
weigh the odds against the loss and the gain
no way of telling what damage we'll sustain
two days journey through the desert and valleys
opinions differ on an accurate tally
when the sun sets on this matter my friend
i'll meet you there on the road to yerevan
engines humming
crackshot drumming
peace is coming
i can feel it
clouds in the distance melting in to the blue
the hills we'll climb begin to come into view
lay down your burden get some rest while you may
the dawn approaches for an eventful day
upon the moment of wisdom's arrival
we must agree upon the terms of survival
as we wake up to the truth of the plan
i'll meet you there on the road to yerevan
engines humming
crackshot drumming
light of forgiveness, show us the way
wager my life against the often told tale
make the journey to the home of the grail
my soul's prepared for the battlefield
a vivid image still reflects in the shield
pain of past sorrows, yet to yield
the scars are there from the wounds long healed
great many years from our very last stand
meet you there - on the road to yerevan
ancient temples
sacred keystone
on our way home
i can feel it
on the road, on the road
on the road to yerevan
on the road, on the road...
centuries have passed and lives have been lost
humanity can't tabulate the cost
i stand before you with the facts in my hand
holding out the hope you may understand
all these centuries, lives have been lost
humanity can't tabulate the cost
i stand before you with the facts in my hand
holding out the hope you may understand
