"Dirt In The Ground" lyrics
"Dirt In The Ground"
What does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies?
We're all gonna be the same place when we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing your face or your name
And the wind through your bones is all that remains
And we're all gonna be, yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
The quill from a buzzard, the blood writes the word
I wanna know am I the sky or a bird?
'Cause hell's boiling over and heaven is full
We're chained to the world and we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
Now the killer was smiling with nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs and the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
He swung out over the crowd, I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
Now Cain slew Abel, killed him with a stone
Sky cracked open and the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh, can these dry bones live?
Take a king or a beggar and the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
We're all gonna be dirt in the ground
We're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
Well, we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground

Swans - "Song For A Warrior" There is a growing
Golden light
a flower unfolding
Behind the mirror of your eyes
If an angel could hold it
In his polished white hand

Jackson C. Frank - "I Want To Be Alone (Dialogue)" I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be alone
Before all the days are gone
And darker walls are bent and torn
To pass the time of those who mourn...

Watch the world go speeding by
Little wheels inside my brain
