Learning To Die

When I think of all the time we had to die

I think that we should have gone somewhere away

Far from our maddening state

We could have run for miles and hidden in a storm

We could have stayed under the rain

Into the winds of time

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now the time has come for every man to die

I know how it's gonna be, black as the dead

Soon we will all be gone

And then we'd have to leave our shiny jewels behind

Diamonds and tears, women and whips

Under the earth we move

Oh, oh, learning to die again

Oh, oh, help me find a place inside this foreign land

Oh, oh, wondering why and when

Oh, oh, who can say on which day

He will call and we must learn to die again

Now the time has come for every man to die

I know how it's gonna be, black as the dead

Soon we will all be gone

Then we have to leave our shiny jewels behind

Diamonds and tears, women and whips

Under the earth we move
