Dirt in the Ground Lyrics
What does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies
We're all gonna be in the same place when we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing
Your face or your name
And the wind through your bones
Is all that remains
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
The quill from a buzzard
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky or a bird
Hell's boiling over
Heaven is full
We're chained to the world
And we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
Now the killer was smiling
With nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs and the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
As he swung out over the crowd
I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
Now Cain slew Abel
He killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open
And the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh
Can these dry bones live
Take a king or a beggar
And the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
We're all gonna be in the same place when we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing
Your face or your name
And the wind through your bones
Is all that remains
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky or a bird
Hell's boiling over
Heaven is full
We're chained to the world
And we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
With nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs and the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
As he swung out over the crowd
I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
He killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open
And the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh
Can these dry bones live
Take a king or a beggar
And the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

"Hell's boiling over Heaven is full We're chained to the world"
mmmmmmmmm.. so beautiful. Personally I find it more comforting to be dirt in the ground than an eternal life. Your soul, body and entire life getting scattered, lost in the ecosystem. Being chained to this world
dont ya know were all gonna be just dirt in the ground??
He keeps surprising me
