"Salt The Earth" lyrics

"Salt The Earth"

When the nail becomes the hammer, who turns their back?
When the hounds you starved fight back
When the nail becomes the hammer, who marks the grave?
When the dogs you kick no longer cave

It goes...
Now how you like that?
Spit fire just to salt the earth
It goes...
Beg for your life back
I swear I saw God in the back of a hearse

When the nail becomes the hammer, who digs the grave?
When the hands you broke still shake
When the nail becomes the hammer, who's left to grieve?
When the love you lost won't let you sleep

It goes...
Now how you like that?
Spit fire just to salt the earth
It goes...
Beg for your life back
I swear I saw God in the back of a hearse
I swear I saw God in the back of a hearse

The dogs you trained now circle with hate
Waiting to claw at your face
And the god you love don't even know your name
He don't know your fuckin' name
He don't know your fuckin' name

Chained to the pain
He don't know your fuckin' name
Chained to the pain
He don't know your fuckin' name

Chained to the pain
