About the Artist
Lyrics
Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive And some of us are here just so that we'll die How come the bullet hits the other guy Do we have to try and reason why Be it the devil or be it him You can count on just one thing When the time is up you'll know Not just one power runs the show Are we the lucky ones saved for another day Or they the lucky ones who are taken away Is it a hand on your shoulder from the Lord above Or the Devil himself come to give you a shove Be it the devil or be it him You can count on just one thing When the time is up you'll know Not just one power runs the show A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away A hurricane devastates the cities in its way The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind Be it the devil or be it him You can count on just one thing When the time is up you'll know Not just one power runs the show
