All The Dying Lyrics
When I see the face of an anonymity
Crying on the street it does something to me
I make-believe
Malady
Tragedy
Flowers on the grave is a beautiful thing
'Cause flowers on the grave still means they're getting something
But when the flowers ain't there
And the grave is bare
I think of old dead bones that don't get theirs
I think of all the butchers and all the beef
All the flies and in all the heat
I think of all the dying
And dying
And dying
Dying and dying and decomposing
Dying and dying's for real
When I see the damned in their dyer straights
Damning all the men with those American names
I say don't damn the man, damn your hand
For making a fist and shaking it all around
Damn the hand
Damn your hand
Or you could damn the butchers and damn the beef
Damn the flies and in all the heat
Or you could damn the dying
And dying
And dying
(Fuck!)
Dying and dying and decomposing
Dying and dying's for real
Dying and dying and pounds of poesy
Dying and dying's forever
When I here the crying of a siren in the night
I think of piles of writhing people
Fighting for their lives
Yeah, I see an image of a body
Broken and beet red
I hear the a cappella angels
Singing for the dead
I think of all the butchers and all the beef
All the flies and all the heaps
I think of all the dirt that lays a bed for bones
I think of all the words that get written on the stone
I think of all the surf that comes crashing over souls
I think of all the dying
All the dying
All the dying
All the dying
Crying on the street it does something to me
I make-believe
Malady
Tragedy
Flowers on the grave is a beautiful thing
'Cause flowers on the grave still means they're getting something
But when the flowers ain't there
And the grave is bare
I think of old dead bones that don't get theirs
All the flies and in all the heat
I think of all the dying
And dying
And dying
Dying and dying's for real
Damning all the men with those American names
I say don't damn the man, damn your hand
For making a fist and shaking it all around
Damn the hand
Damn your hand
Damn the flies and in all the heat
Or you could damn the dying
And dying
And dying
Dying and dying's for real
Dying and dying and pounds of poesy
Dying and dying's forever
I think of piles of writhing people
Fighting for their lives
Yeah, I see an image of a body
Broken and beet red
I hear the a cappella angels
Singing for the dead
All the flies and all the heaps
I think of all the words that get written on the stone
I think of all the surf that comes crashing over souls
All the dying
All the dying
All the dying

Great song idk why no one has commented on it already. Soo the song speaks of tragedies and poor people who die for real as in their whole existence died no one is there to leave flowers since everybody forgot them. He is speaking about damning your hand because it made a fist and caused more trouble, as in caused more violence or hands shaking witch is making selfish deals that damages people who will suffer from those decisions. All considered song expresses sympathy for poor people who go unremembered, who suffered people fighting for their life ????
