1000 Mile Journey Lyrics
Long's the life, steep's 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 1000 miles, it starts with one step
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
Deep is the hole, shovel's always full, I bit the dog
and I beat the master, the master
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 1000 miles, it starts with one step
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
Another feble 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 is it an alien
throw me down the stairs, since I just don't care no more
I can't take the wind, I can't fight the storm, anymore
I don't have the will, I can't be the storm, anymore
A Journey of 1000 miles, it starts with one step
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
The hurricane's eye is like the calm before the storm
darkening the shore, setting the score
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
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
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
and I beat the master, the master
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
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
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 is it an alien
throw me down the stairs, since I just don't care no more
I don't have the will, I can't be the storm, anymore
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones
The hurricane's eye is like the calm before the storm
darkening the shore, setting the score
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones

it's my favorite song of the new album, not only for the music but only for the lyrics now :) i also think it's about struggling with life and about the importance of perseverance. there also seems to be something in it about someone else domineering over you.
You forgot to add the last two words 'of old'
It’s butterfly’s wings can start tornadoes don’t you know it’s a reference to the butterfly effect. Where they say taking the wings off of a butterfly can cause a tornado across the world
this song is about the lead singer when he was a running back in college and how hard it was to have a 1000 yard rushing season.
i think this song is about life...lemme know if im wrong
