Flesh and Bone

I carry the weight of my mortal remains
A long distant nightmare extends in my veins
My body's just lent for the time of my life
No claim to use it till the end of the time

I'm going to know where I'll stake
My bones when my flesh will decay

On my way to the endless unknown
Into the ground - I am going down
From the day the worms come around
To the place where my bones lay down
On the day my sun is going down
There's a place where I'm gonna stay
In the haze where the lost can be found
I am made out of flesh and bone

No, leave it behind
Now you see the darker side of life
No more sorrow and pain
For all the ones you left alone

I'm going to know where I'll stay
There's nothing to save me from pain

On my way to the endless unknown
Into the ground - I am going down
What remains is a bag of my bones
While the rest eaten by the worms
Take my body for the hopeless to cure
Where I go I don't need it anymore
In the space where my dust can be found
I'm just made out of flesh and bone

On my way to the endless unknown
Into the ground - I am going down
From the day the worms come around
To the place where my bones lay down
On the day my sun is going down
There's a place where I'm gonna stay
In the haze where the lost can be found
I am made out of flesh and bone
