Newsted – Long Time Dead lyrics

Rain twists shapes and hisses fear
I kiss my tears as the ground disappears
White stones fall down from the sky
Black storm clouds groan and then they start to cry [2X]

They star to cry
Live while you're living 'cause you're a long time dead

Rats in rhythm and snakes in tongues
Mud flakes and fungus are coating my lungs
Squash the doubt mankind washed out
Without machines without a prayer we cannot prepare
Fire on frost tired and lost
The city into the sea is tossed
Liars cost mired and scoffed
Screaming pleas as mother earth breathes
Throw away the trees blow away the breeze

[Hook]
Live while you're living 'cause you're a long time dead
Give while you're living share with me what's in your head

[Solo]

Sea to rising sea grey solar light
Wicked winds churning the polar night
All living things under leaves gasp
Water heaves fast a feat a task beliefs are smashed


By the rising sea grey solar light
Wicked winds churning the polar night
All living things under leaves gasp
Water heaves fast a feat a task beliefs are smashed
A patch of grass to feed I ask

[Hook]

Godswallop shatter the world at will
Thinning the herd with a flush to spill
All that matters scattered in the swill
All that matters not enough still

[Hook 2x]

Live while you're living 'cause you're a long time dead
