[Verse 1] When the time has come, and they come for everyone, Don't wait beside that door, don't ask what must be done. Go out and run, son, leave the room behind, The road is hard, but staying there will cost your life. [Chorus] Run for your life, son, run while you can, Carry what you know, but don't turn back again. If they come for everyone, they'll come for you, Find the open road and make it through. [Verse 2] Please don't stay much longer, don't let the minutes bind, A warning in the silence, a question in your mind. You wanted to understand; I know you tried, But some doors close forever when you wait inside. [Bridge] When the time has come, And the footsteps reach the hall, Take my hand, remember this: You were never meant to fall. [Chorus] Run for your life, son, run while you can, Carry what you know, but don't turn back again. If they come for everyone, they'll come for you, Find the open road and make it through. [Outro] Run, son, run, Before the morning comes. Run, son, run, Until the danger's gone.
