I could have danced with the demons of the underworld, shovelling coal
I could have counselled with the priests using split tongue words, making heads roll
Either way I won't win
So where do I begin?
I learned to swim by the shores of the black flood, splashing in fear
I traded in twice my share of this martyr blood, to bring me here
Thundering!
I seek forgiveness from the dead, for what's not even a sin
Thundering!
I'm praying for ressurection, although there's no such thing
Down
The anvil fears no blow, no yell
As swept off the face of the earth
Distant fields may seem green
But still better than ten more years at the gates
We're all taking turns at the wheel, spinning fortune round
No amendments for all of my deeds until our doom is announced
We're all taking turns at the wheel, spinning fortune round
No amendments for all of my deeds until our doom is announced
When judgement falls I cave in
Meanwhile I'm thundering
Thundering!
I seek forgiveness from the dead, for what's not even a sin
Thundering!
I'm praying for ressurection, although there's no such thing
When judgement falls I cave in
Meanwhile I'm thundering
Although there's no such thing
