1000 Mile Journey

(альбом: Mudvayne - 2009)

Long is the life
Steep, the climb
I took the match and I lit the fire
Fire

Pain for the pain
My guts ache
Built by the sin that was taught by the father
The father

Now come and walk with me

A journey of a thousand miles, it starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't you know?
Harvesting the souls, burying the bones

Deep is the hole
Shovel's always full
I bit the dog and I beat the master
Bastard

Eye for an eye
Tooth's been pulled
Lost all control that was taught by the mother
The mother

Now come and walk with me

A journey of a thousand miles, it starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't you know?
Harvesting the souls, burying the bones

Another feeble man
Arms outstretched in a distant land
Wonders where it all went wrong
He's followed us too long

Another fallen man
That failed to make a stand
What have I done wrong?
Left here all alone

The voice inside my head
Is it me or an alien?
Throw me down the stairs
Since I just don't care
Anymore

I can't take the wind
I can't fight the storm
Anymore

I don't have the will
I can't beat the storm
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

A journey of a thousand miles, it starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't you know?
Harvesting the souls, burying the bones

The hurricane's eye is like the calm before the storm
Darkening the shore, settling the score
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't you know?
Harvesting the souls, burying the bones of old
