power of right

Eddie Vedder

Bright man scared, living in fear
An itchy trigger finger, a clown in his ear
His intimidation born of his fear
Hypnotized, bloodshot eyes and a mind unclear
(Fading light that disappeared)

She came out of nowhere
He had to be near her
On a moonless night
She was the only light
No escape from her pull of gravitation
She color-blinded sight, she echoed in his eyes

She had
She had the power of right

Knocking, knocking the door with his centrifugal force
Couldn't take the first st?p
Rocking back and forth
Held his invitation, he fell on his sword
Oh, hypnotiz?d, bloodshot eyes and he's begging for more
(Drowning with the undertow)

She took possession
On a cross, she kept him
Behind the scenes
B-burning gasoline
He took her to the altar
She's thinking 'bout creation
Hands up in the air, crying cocktail tears
No witnesses here
She thought the coast was clear

Fuck the past or you'll fuck your future
No questions asked, for fear that the truth hurts
Atomic blast, he was outmaneuvered
Didn't stand a chance, a fucking hoover
The power of right
Power of right
Power of right
Power of light

Heed the power, equal power
Share the power, feel the power
Fight the power, be the power
Feed the power, be the power of light
