Who's the man who stole fire for the people?
Who causes trembling in the bones of evil?
Who carved a mountain into a cathedral?

I think it's all right
But I'm tryin'
The blood of lions
No, I ain't dying
I am immortal
So immortal
I am immortal
Who rides the solar cycle with no hands, Ma?

Standing at the four corners of the earth
Holding back the winds from blowing
And there was another angel coming from the west
I am immortal
Half-blind and spitting straight into the wind
Down, down, they get tryna take me down
It's all right, sometimes I go dreaming
It's all right
'Cause I've been tryin'
The blood of lions
No, I ain't dying
I am immortal
So immortal
'Cause I'm immortal
I am immortal
Immortal
