Blood, Iron Black and Bone

Better days
A gentle lie, the will to survive
All of a sudden now
We were found to live on a holy shrine

A man of worth is, for better or worse
Just another among a thousand lives
Now, won't you tell me
We have been heard
And the kingdom is coming down from the sky

Down from the sky
Down from the sky, yeah

Knowing this better
All those lies will grant you the tomb
A mess of blood, iron black and bone

So I won't believe this no more
No, I won't believe this no more
As I'm trying to live longer

This one was very dear to me
I heard through his philosophy
Words from our priests and our books

But yes, there was some catchiness
A sense of purity, a bless
Even I felt the heights in my soul

As time unfolds and things get big
Words he utters spread and stick
Fatal fame comes to take its place

And when the things got out of hand
Chiefs and rulers had to mend it
Time to show our power, nail those fools

Is this fucker your friend, little buddy?
I gotta tell you no, no, no
I met him as a childhood friend, we lost touch
I gotta tell you
I gotta tell you no, no

Words, they will wear out
Lose meaning and tear apart
Dying just to show how
They leave you
There lasts only sorrow
Dry the days, not meaningful
Lying just to show how
To use you
