One year closer to my death I haven't found what I'm looking for yet It ain't big blue eyes and long blonde hair It ain't a million dollars or a secret prayer Ya see, my corpse was born inside of me Sometimes I carry him, sometimes he carries me And we ride this desert foreign land When my prayers don't work I use my hands There's a monster in my dreams With ruby eyes she calls to me And the demons circle round her throne beside the princes she has turned to stone She can take your brain but not your blood She can bury your bones but not your love Still, I keep practicing my aim Persius is my name Time is not the enemy I am, I think But if I can't find the rhythm If I can't find a cure By God I'm gonna break these walls and shake the floors SongtexteIf I come I come to raise the dead Even with all these demons in my head And if you've come to raise them too If you wait for me, I'll wait for you My grandpa asked me to plant a tree So I burned down the forrest while he was asleep He awoke with not a tree in sight, Said "now maybe son you can plant one right Don't be afraid of the blood and gore Don't be afraid of the devil on the threshing floor 'Cause there's a power in your bones that outconsumes War and Sex and God and You" Time is not the enemy I am, I think But if I can't find the rhythm If I can't find a cure By God I'm gonna break these walls and shake the floors If I come I come to raise the dead Even with all these demons in my head And if you've come to raise them too If you wait for me I'll wait for you Guts of gold and wings of steel A loaded gun and a pocket mirror And if you make it out alive You better hold that bloody head up high My dad was born in '58 His dad was born in '29 His dad was born in 1895 His name was Persius, the same as mine Aus Songtexte Mania
