1000 Mile Journey

Longs the life
Steeps the climb
I took the match and 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 butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls
Burying the bones

Deep is the hole, shovel's always call
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 butterflies 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

The journey of a thousand miles it starts with one step
Plowing out the rows
The bleeding of the rose
A butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls
Burying the bones (of old)
The hurricanes eye is like the calm before the storm
Darkening the shore
Settling the score
A butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls
Burying the bones of old
