Strange Contradiction from Miracles & Sin by Mayday Music Songs

Strange Contradiction

The city glows like a distant fire
A far off drum
A lonesome train
The street light shines on an empty corner
The sweet caress of an August rain

We are dark and light
So I’m told
Day and night
Young and old
We turn left
Then we turn right
Rust and gold
Strange contradiction in my soul
In my soul

I am far away from my home
I walk lost down this quiet lane
I left my world for a golden dream
Milk and honey
And the price of pain

We are dark and light
So I’m told
East and West
Rock ‘n roll
At our worst and at our best
You can’t break the mold
Strange contradiction in my soul
In my soul

We are dark and light
So I’m told
Day and night
Young and old
We turn left
Then we turn right
Rust and gold
Strange contradiction in my soul
In my soul


We are dark and light
So I’m told
East and West
Rock ‘n roll
At our worst and at our best
You can’t break the mold
Strange contradiction in my soul
In my soul
In my soul
