lyrics

Man in a coffin, man in the ground
while you've been sleepin', world turned itself 'round
You've been swept away, never you did crime
you've been swept away, by the shores of time

Man in a coffin, man under the dirt
I hope it was easy, that you didn't feel no hurt
We all think it was early for you to lose your breath
and watch it flow in order, beside the gale of death

Man in a coffin, man sealed away
your courage has ended, your wisdom will stay
The thread of your being finally curled
The world gave you life, and your life meant the world

I ain't much for gods, no I ain't much for powers
I think that there's us and our worldly desires
If you believe separate, by me that's alright
But tell that to my friend down there, who'll never see our light again

Man in a coffin, man in the ground
while you've been sleepin', world turned itself 'round
You've been swept away, never you did crime
you've been swept away, by the shores of time
