Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies
We're all gonna be the same place when we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing your face or your name
And the wind through your bones is all that remains
[Verse 2]
We're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[Verse 3]
The quill from a buzzard, the blood writes the word
I want to know, am I the sky or a bird?
'Cause Hell is boiling over and Heaven is full
We're chained to the world and we all gotta pull
[Verse 4]
We're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
We're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[Verse 7]
Now Cain slew Abel, he killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open and the thunder groaned
Along the river of flesh, can these dry bones live?
Take a king or a beggar and the answer they'll give
[Verse 8]
We're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be...
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[Verse 9]
(We're all gonna be dirt in the ground)
(We're all gonna be dirt in the ground)
(We're all gonna be dirt in the ground)
(We're all gonna be dirt in the ground)
(We're all gonna be dirt in the ground)
(We're all gonna be dirt in the ground)
