(Frankenstein) Ambition-The Brian Cline Band

• A man's ambition gone too far A man whose passion
  Missed the mark No one said it was easy No one
  said it would Tear him apartHe's gained the
  world he's lost his soul In his heart there is a
  hole places to go right from the start It's too
  late, they've grown apartThe world's a mission
  Endless ambition Time's the blade That cuts right
  through your heart The rat race won How far
  you've come Now you're aloneThe ones you loved
  are goneThe world's a mission Endless ambition
  Time's the blade That cuts right through your
  heart The rat race won How far you've come Now
  you're aloneThe ones you loved are gone
