The many miles we walked
The many things we learned
The building of a shrine
Only just to burn
May the wind be at your back
Good fortune touch your hand
May the cards lay out a straight
All from your command
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Blue heron leaves the northern sky
Trusts the journey to new heights
- What's the meaning of the scar?
If we don't learn how to heal..
Should we ever be apart
Then how does it feel
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
- Shine light into darkness
Shine light into darkness
That's the way it is
That's the way it is (so many miles to walk)
That's the way it is (so many things we've got to learn)
That's the way it is (oh, that's the way it is)
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Oh, I'm as sharp as a coroner's needle
Inside I'm cold as a marble eye
Skin as harsh as a rusted razor
A nightmare livin' in your mind
Out of a page full of murderous stories
My skull is filled up with terrible crimes
A dream of violent repetition
A nosferatu for your 'lord of the flies'
You can't stop what ain't dead, it's true
Bad voodoo's a livin' deja vu
No pienses matan
I've buried more than the men in the graveyard
A grim priest at a funeral pyre
So if I end up 'six deep' in the desert
I guess I'll see you in the afterlife.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
So I'm headed south, to the devil's door
I wanna turn the whole world around, to how it was before.
Triple sixes burn, making out my path
Lead me to the secret that's gonna cure my past.
You can't stop what ain't dead, it's true
Bad voodoo's a livin' deja vu, hey, hey!
How does it feel with your name on a tombstone
While you're surrounded by the livin' dead
Some kind of curse hangin' over your shoulders
I'll haunt you like a specter of regret.
The bells are ringin for the end of the line now
Feels like I'm rowing right down the styx
But I don't care, I can kill anything
With a gun and a knife and a crucifix.
You can't stop what ain't dead, it's true
Bad voodoo's a livin' deja vu, hey, hey!
You can't stop what ain't dead, it's true
Bad voodoo's a livin' deja vu
No pienses matan
