Turtle Island - Fourteen Stairs Down Lyrics

Tremoring hands pull open
The distorted green metal door
Metal on metal
Forces them to pull even more
Looking at others
They see what's coming their way
Fourteen stairs down
To fight for another day
Fourteen stairs down
On the left to the light
Fourteen stairs down
The humbled gather to fight
A place where everyone
Can see down the road
Face to face with the monster
Their future is told
By people already
Well into the fight
Fourteen stairs down
On the left to the light
Fourteen stairs down
On the left to the light
Fourteen stairs down
The humbled gather to fight
They share stories
Of the monster's god awful might
Can't be selfish and just fade away
Fourteen stairs down
To fight another day hey
They fight for love ones
Themselves daughter or son
They fight for time
In a fight that no one has won
Fourteen stairs down
To get back in the fray
Fourteen stairs down
To keep the monster at bay
You know they're all in a fight
You know they know they can't win
But to just fade away
Would be such a sin
Tremoring hands pull
The distorted green metal door
From it's green metal frame
Because to just fade away
Would be such a shame
Fourteen stairs down
On the left to the light
Fourteen stairs down
To get back in the fight
Fourteen stairs down
On the left to the light
Fourteen stairs down
To get back in the fight
