The Devil's Walking Stick

[_theid]

Life has fangs it tears us up
It rips us to shreads and we turn to dust
Because time is long but it’s moving so quick
So hold onto your seat before you get sick
And always watch out for the devil's walking stick
Be careful before tomorrows gone

I was a carpenter
Carving my life
I was a stranger
Holding a knife

A burden, a pest
A farmer, a knight
A slave and a Martyr
A gloom and a light

I traveled on empty
I spoke of the stars
I freed all the captives
Locked behind bars

Well God
He timed
This watch
Of mine
Crafted
With a shine
Golden
And divine

I learned my lesson so long ago
Don't fear the water, just swim with the undertow
And as you paddle you'll drift out to sea
Nothing but your memories written on a marquee
As we finally drown the sign turns to debris
And slowly sinks in the waves

Life has fangs it tears us up
It rips us to shreds and we turn to dust
Because time is long but its moving so quick
So hold onto your seat before you get sick
And always watch out for the devil's walking stick
Be careful before tomorrows gone

God told me to watch the sand
The hourglass is empty but it's still in my hand

And don't shake the jar, make sure that it stands
Cause the faster it falls the faster it lands

I learned my lesson so long ago
Don't fear the water, just swim with the undertow
And as you paddle you'll drift out to sea
Nothing but your memories written on a marquee
As we finally drown the sign turns to debris
And slowly sinks in the waves

Life has fangs it tears us up
It rips us to shreds and we turn to dust
Because time is long but its moving so quick
So hold onto your seat before you get sick
And always watch out for the devil's walking stick
Be careful before tomorrows gone
