lyrics

We wait for fear to bring us to our never standing knees
we'll sit we'll sleep we'll steal and keep, we'll do what we damn please
we'll be blind we'll pay no mind to compassion or concern
we'll take our pay and be on our way because this is what we've earned

I've been rolling nails in the sides of these coffins
I've been joining the wood at the seams
I've been counting the dead and those soon to head
Lord only knows what we'll see

I'll drink of whats to come and I'll drink to what just came
I'll drink myself to hell and back if they just do the same
patience it'll kill you boy or make you truly live
but I don't believe in indignation it's nothing to forgive

I've been rolling nails in the sides of these coffins
I've been joining the wood at the seams
I've been tracing the lines and bending the ties
Lord only knows what we'll see

But I do believe in the morning
I do believe it might
I do believe in fair warning
because I know something aint right

I've been rolling nails in the sides of these coffins
I've been joining the wood at the seams
I saw the noose fell, heard the church bell
Lord only knows what we'll see
