Demon Claws |
| Well my name it doesn’t matter, my name I couldn’t tell |
| The reason I am standing here’s to tell you how I fell |
| They say a straw can break the back of a camel fully grown |
| I use a straw to pick my teeth and my back broke long ago |
| Once’d I had a family, once’d I had a wife |
| I went one day to walk away, a stranger I did spy |
| Standin' with a long black snake coiled around his hand |
| The sky crashed down upon us and mud rose from the sand |
| Before I fell into the dark, he opened up his jaw |
| So black and cold I shivered, but in the milky hole I saw |
| House and children, wife and me, a scene of peace and love |
| Those rotting teeth upon us, they crushed us from above |
| I told this to a sailor, he told me just the same |
| Twenty years at sea when he returned, not one remained |
| The fault was all his own, he said «You cannot fight the years |
| «By staring at a photograph and fighting back the tears» |
| Now, I have tried a thousand times to think about that day |
| How I could find another route or find another way |
| But time won’t pause, the demon’s claws will always bleed you dry |
| You take time here, it takes time from there, and you live until you die |
| You take time here, it takes time from there, and you live until you die |
| You take time here, it takes time from there, and you live until you die |
