Flesh and Bone Lyrics


I carry the weight of my mortal remains

A long distant nightmare extends in my veins

My body's just lent for the time of my life

No claim to use it till the end of the time

I'm going to know where I'll stake

My bones when my flesh will decay

On my way to the endless unknown

Into the ground - I am going down

From the day the worms come around

To the place where my bones lay down

On the day my sun is going down

There's a place where I'm gonna stay

In the haze where the lost can be found

I am made out of flesh and bone

No, leave it behind

Now you see the darker side of life

No more sorrow and pain

For all the ones you left alone

I'm going to know where I'll stay

There's nothing to save me from pain

On my way to the endless unknown

Into the ground - I am going down

What remains is a bag of my bones

While the rest eaten by the worms

Take my body for the hopeless to cure

Where I go I don't need it anymore

In the space where my dust can be found

I'm just made out of flesh and bone

On my way to the endless unknown

Into the ground - I am going down

From the day the worms come around

To the place where my bones lay down

On the day my sun is going down

There's a place where I'm gonna stay

In the haze where the lost can be found

I am made out of flesh and bone
