Have you ever been around this town?
Have you ever seen the steam rise from the ground?
Have you ever felt the fear growin' inside?
When the times change you better be home at night

'cause they're sharpening their knives edge
I hear them sharpening

Have you ever been to the borderline
Where the guns are law and blood is wine?
And you better shelter from the sunset

Here I'm living on the knife edge
Yes, I'm living

Lost in time and space I hear the cry from the street
Telling me there's no more time to waste

There's fire in their eyes
And gasoline through their veins
Welcome to my homeland
"No country for old men"

Outside, my shooting stars are falling
Inside my veins the blood is boiling
Inside my head the wick is burning
Out of my eyes, the rage is flurrying

Now I'm licking the knife-edge

I crossed alone the finish line
To be the scapegoat for their crime
And see the square sun rise behind bars

Now I'm livin' on a knife edge
Yes I'm livin'

Lost in time and space I hear the cry from the street
Telling me there's no more time to waste

There's fire in their eyes
And gasoline through their veins
Welcome to my homeland
"No country for old men"
