W hat does it m atter a dream of love

Or a dream of l ies

We're a ll gonna be the same place

When we d ie

Y our spirit don't leave k nowing

Y our face or your n ame

And the w ind through your bones

Is a ll that remains

A nd we're all gonna b e... (x4 )

Just dirt in the ground

T he quill from a b uzzard

T he blood writes the w ord

I want to k now am I the sky

or the b ird

'Cause h ell is b oiling over

A nd heaven is f ull

We're c hained to the world

And w e all gotta pull

A nd we're all gonna b e... (x4 )

...Just dirt in the ground

Now the k iller was s miling

With n erves made of s tone

H e climbed the stairs

And the g allows groaned

And the p eople's hearts were p ounding

They were t hrobbing they were r ed

As he s wung out over the crowd

I heard the h angman said

W e're all gonna b e... (x4 )

Just dirt in the ground

Now C ain slew A ble

He k illed him with a s tone

The s ky cracked open

And the t hunder groaned

A long a river of f lesh

C an these dry bones l ive?

Ask a k ing or a beggar

And the a nswer they'll give

I s we're all gonna b e... (x4 )

We're all gonna be just
