ong's the life, steep's the climb I took a match and lit the fire, fire Pain for the pain, my guts ache Built by the sin that was taught by the father, father Now come and walk with me
[Chorus] The journey of a thousand miles it starts with one step Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose A butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't ya know Harvesting the souls, burying the bones
Deep inside the hole, shovel's always full I bit the dog and I beat the master, master Eye for an eye, tooth's been pulled Lost all control that was taught by the mother, the mother Now come and walk with me
[Chorus] The journey of a thousand miles it starts with one step Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose A butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't ya know Harvesting the souls, burying the bones
Another feeble man, arms outstretched out in a distant land Wonders where it all went wrong, he's followed us too long Another fallen man, that failed to make a stand What have I done wrong, left here all alone The voice inside my head, is it me or an alien Throw me down the stairs, since I just don't care no more
I can't take the wind, I can't fight the storm, anymore I don't have the will, I can't be the storm, anymore
[Chorus] The journey of a thousand miles it starts with one step Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose A butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't ya know Harvesting the souls, burying the bones of old The hurricanes eye is like the calm before the storm Darkening the shore, settling the score A butterflies wings can start tornadoes don't ya know Harvesting the souls, burying the bones of old
