- The Endless Mile -

music & lyrics : Ferdy Doernberg

Well, Cain slew Abel
and Nero burned Rome
and the blind man saw the reason why
all us sinners need a home.
And the killer took a cigarette
and pulled the trigger with a smile
and as gunsmoke filled the air he said :
"Take a walk on the endless mile !"

So we´re all goin´ down - we´re all goin´ down- we´re all goin´down the endless mile

And we swear it on the bible
or, maybe, the koran
when a body once lies bleeding
greed is down for the count of ten.
So the killer, he´s a lonely man
dark silence scarred his style.
He´s the kinda guardian angel
when you walk the endless mile.

So we´re all goin´ down - we´re all goin´ down- we´re all goin´down the endless mile

When the blind man paints a picture
and the deaf one sings a song
and the broken and the weary ones
prove their leaders that they´re wrong
then the killer may get redemption
lay down and rest for a while
before he´s gonna take his own
walk on the endless mile.

So we´re all goin´ down - we´re all goin´ down- we´re all goin´down the endless mile……
