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
 Spirit don't leave knowing face or your name
 The wind through your bones is all that remains
 And we're all gonna be, yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
 The quill from a buzzard, blood writes the word
 I want to know am I the sky or a bird
 Hell's boiling over and heaven is full
 We're chained to the world and we all gotta pull
 And we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said 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, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I 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, 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, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be, yeah-yeah
 I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
 We're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
 We're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
 I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
 Well, we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
