I’ve been down, so down, so very damn, very damn long.

I’ve been searchin’ for a soul that’s long gone, dead and gone.

Passin’ by the sunrise just to welcome in the song.

‘Cause another days waisted when I feel the shadow of the dawn

Swimmin’ in the sallows,

Lifted by the talon,

When I’m mired down in the mud.

I’ve been a thousand places,

When I never left the basement,

But I journey’d on back when I could.

It’s all the same to me,

Don’t need all this money,

My legs been broken many times before.

Just hobble on my way,

Another path is laid,

Soon callased on my hooves that have worn

I’ve been down, so down, so very damn, very damn long.

I’ve been searchin’ for a soul that’s long gone, dead and gone.

Passin’ by the sunrise just to welcome in the song.

‘Cause another days waisted when I feel the shadow of the dawn

Lost along the way,

It’s all home that I claim,

When I feel the sickness lingering near.

Another scar is made,

This butcher and his blade,

Never to relinquish my tears.

This battle weary soul,

With soot that’s thick as coal,

Rising from the ashes of a runaway car.

Born to be a king,

That fortune failed to bring,

But the bastard reaches for the stars.

I’ve been down, so down, so very damn, very damn long.

I’ve been searchin’ for a soul that’s long gone, dead and gone.

Passin’ by the sunrise just to welcome in the song.

‘Cause another days waisted when I feel the shadow of the dawn
