lyrics

Matter of Time

It's only a matter of time
Until your good name goes up in flames
Don't you play no games
When your time has come it's through

You ran out of people to climb
Better heed the call 'cause after all
You've been due to fall
They'll be coming soon for you

The levies are breaking in the heat of confession
The people are waking up to teach you a lesson
But before they clip his claws
Remind them of their applause
Have mercy on his unworthy soul again

It's not like it was in your prime
See the setting sun you're overrun
When you thought you'd won
And your friends are far too few

Away from the glitter and grime
Better watch your step 'cause you forget
All the bills you left
Are coming up past due

The palace is burning with the bells loudly ringing
The tables are turning but the spells you were bringing
Are as old as day and night
So all together recite
“Have mercy on my unworthy soul” again

Have mercy, babe
Have mercy on me
I tried so hard
I tried so hard
