Lyrics The Suffering Song - Willard Grant Conspiracy

The Suffering Song

The evening sky has blown apart
The fire on the hills has all gone gray
And my mother’s got a few days left
She thinks it’s time we all
Learned to pray
And my sister’s in the kitchen
And my brother’s laying out his guns
And my father’s pacing in the hallway
Looks like they’ve all figured out
A way to run
It’s as old as the world
It’s as old as the world
The suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
The suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
And my mother’s gone to glory
I packed my books to a bag
This family is about to explode
I guess I’ll try my luck
Out on my own
And I know there’s life beyond this ridge
We can test the truths
We all know
And value what we keep
But for now
We should all go to sleep
It’s as old as the world
It’s as old as the world
The suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
The suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Suffering’s gonna come
To everyone
Someday
Someday
Someday
