This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
Job 34:20; Psalm 112:10
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
James 1:10-11
Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
And feel like they're on top of the world
They shall fade away, yeah, hear what I say
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say
Matthew 13:12
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul
Then fade away
Psalm 115:4; Isaiah 2:20; Zephaniah 1:18; Matthew 16:26; James 5:3
One who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
Shall fade away
God is here and there and everywhere
And He knows when you play the game unfair
So people beware, or else you fade away!
Hey, beware! Or dare you fade away?
You gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now
(..)
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say
One who's always acting smart
And forgetting to carry love in his heart
Shall fade away
God is here and there and everywhere
And His eyes, His eyes are watching you
Job 34:21; Proverbs 15:3
You gon' fade away, yeah, yeah
You gon' fade, fade, fade, fade away
Fade away, yeah, yeah
Longer version:
Brother what you done
Can't you see you gonna fade away now, fade
Fade in the morning, fade in the evening
Surely you gonna fade
Yeah, you gonna fade every day now..
