I got a feeling coming on
Life is taking way too long
I'll see you when I'm home
See a madman on the wall
A burning church and human flaw,
But you leave them alone

I got a feeling that comes around
The dogs of war I put them down
I hear them cry and beg
I gave a poor man a dime or two
He saved my soul with gratitude
And gave his life yes you did

God really knows us all
God really knows us all
And God really knows us all

Please I know it's too late for my eyes to open
Now I see the door closing, I need more time for it's over

I got a feeling coming on (feeling coming on)
I got a feeling coming on (feeling coming on)
I got a feeling coming on (feeling coming on)
I got a feeling coming on (feeling coming on)
I got a feeling coming on (feeling coming on)

So please I know it's too late for my eyes to open
I feel the door closing and I see myself getting older
I got a feeling I'll never be free until it's over

I got a feeling coming on life is taking way too long
I'll see you when I'm home

    My Interpretation

    One of my favorites from Sevendust and it is my favorite song of theirs lyrically speaking. To me this is a song about a couple of things. It's for one, about grasping with a dying belief in the lord, being unsure of what your beliefs are in regards to religion in general and wondering if life will have to come to an before ones true belief or faith will be realized and then it'd be too late. Secondly, I believe this deals in part with depression, the struggle to see the purpose of life in general, seeing as an endless, insufferable journey that undoubtedly leads to death so then what's the point in even continuing as its all a means to an end anyways. I listen to as a cry for help, someone who on one hand can't figure out their beliefs in anything of religious bearing and also on the other hand they can't even find a belief in going on period because life is taking way too long and is depressing with war, terrorism and such (dogs of war) that he wishes life would hurry up and he could just be done with it (contemplating suicide it seems).
