Only Death Is Real lyrics

We live on this earth filled with terrible people One body of diamonds where nobody's equal Our home's our cells, our cities the prison Stolen land by politicians Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold You won't be born again, death is after your soul Line 'em up across the board Eight by Eight under the bishop's sword We are the pawns placed in our squares Young or old, all we know is warfare Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold You won't be born again, death is after your soul History repeats, there's always a sequel We're the pieces of the game, inescapable evil They want the pawns to fight each other and say we're not the same Well, I say, "don't hate the player, hate the game" Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold You won't be born again, death is after your soul Hold your position, for heaven's sake You can beg, you can pray, but nothing will change The march won't stop, so don't watch the clock Only death is real, it all goes back in the box It all goes back in the box Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold You won't be born again, death is after your soul Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold You won't be born again, death is after your soul Death is after your soul Death is after your soul Death is after your soul Death is after your soul Death is after your soul Death is after your soul
