When I think of all 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
Well, we could have stayed
Under the rain
Into the winds of time, yeah yeah yeah yeah

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

Learning to die again
Help me find a place
Inside this foreign land
Wondering why and when
Who can say?
On which day
He 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, yeah
