Sometimes I walk that lonely road In a kingdom built for liars Where burdens kin move within It’s a slow way to die
The roots of time Make bitter wine And it bleeds the spirit dry There ain't no cure When the poisons pure It’s a slow way to die
Sometimes I swear I’m almost there He walks among the blind Sometimes I feel It’s almost real It’s a slow way to die
I’ve walked with him Where they wear love thin And the rivers drown their strong But the sons of sin Won’t take me in And it’s a slow way to die
Sometimes I plead He’ll mercy me In the hour of the scythe If deaths the release And love’s the disease Then it’s a slow way to die It’s a slow way to die
