Learning to Die

When I think of all the time We had to die I think that we should have gone Somewhere away Far from our maddening state We could have run for miles And hidden in a storm We could have stayed Under the rain Into the winds of time Yea, yea, yea, yea Now the time has come For every man to die I know how it's gonna be Black as the dead Soon we will all be gone Now we have to leave Our shiny jewels behind Diamonds and tears Women and whips Under the earth we move Learning to die again Help me find a place Inside this foreign land Wondering why and when Who can say? On which day Be will call and we must learn to die again Now the time has come For every man to die I know how it's gonna be Black as the dead Soon we will all be gone Now we have to leave Our shiny jewels behind, oh Diamonds and tears Women and whips Under the earth we move, hey!
