The Long Run lyrics

My personal favourite on the album.
 Some very intense and complex guitar acrobatics on this one.
 Basically my version of "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" lyrics-wise.
 Not that many songs kick off with the chorus.
 This one does.

 What if I stumble will I fall?
 What if there is no end at all?
 What if I'm running an endless race?
 What if there is no second place?

 Dreams betrayed by dreams
 A random observation
 Guidelines get blurred
 Without guidance.

 It's a fine line between man and divinity
 A straight line from fame to an ex-celebrity

 A quick glance over my shoulder
 Just miles of empty road
 Sweat burning my eyes
 Feet ache on led road

 Another mile for me
 Another scenery
 The race is on
 But somehow I'm alone
 I used to know them all
 But someone proved me wrong
 Their names are gone but faces I remember

 What if I stumble will I fall?
 What if there is no end at all?
 What if I'm running an endless race?
 What if there is no second place?

 The sun just passed the zenith
 I watch as it slowly sets
 Just keep on running exhausted
 As a man ever gets

 Stagnant is my progression
 Yet I'm right on course
 To finish first, cross the line
 To win the race of course

 Another mile for me
 Another scenery
 The race is on
 But somehow I'm alone
 I used to know them all
 But someone proved me wrong
 Their names are gone but faces I remember

 What if I stumble will I fall?
 What if there is no end at all?
 What if I'm running an endless race?
 What if there is no second place?
