1000 Mile Journey

[Verse 1]
Long's the life
Steep's the climb
I took the match and I lit the fire, fire
Pain for the pain
My guts ache
Built by the sin that was taught by the father, the father

[Pre-Chorus]
Now come and walk with me

[Chorus]
A journey of a thousand miles
It starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know
Harvesting the souls
Burying the bones

[Verse 2]
Deep is 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Now come and walk with me

[Chorus]
A journey of a thousand miles
It starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know
Harvesting the souls
Burying the bones

[Verse 3]
Another feeble man
Arms outstretched 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 anymore

[Bridge]
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
Anymore
Anymore

[Chorus]
A journey of a thousand miles
It starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know
Harvesting the souls, burying the bones

[Outro]
The hurricane's eye is like the calm before the storm
Darkening the shore, settling the score
A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know
Harvesting the souls, burying the bones of old
