The Stand

歌詞

Oh I have been out searching with The black book in my hand And I've looked between the lines That lie on the pages that I tread I met the walking dude, religious, in His worn down cowboy boots He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name (had no name) I swear he had no name As I crawled beneath the Searchlights Looking through the floorboards of This life I met doctor strangelove's cousin He bore the marks of time "hey! trashcan where you going boy Your eyes are feet apart Is that the end you're carrying shall i Play the funeral march" (play the march) "play the funeral March" Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on down & make the stand. When I looked out the window On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open The plague claimed man and son Four men at a grave in silence with Hats bowed down in grace A simple wooden cross, It had no epitaph engraved (it had no) It had no epitaph engraved. Come roll out the red carpet, Come bugler sound the horn The hero is returning Come welcome him to his home Don't say I didn't warn you This prophecy's coming true The cavalry is thundering Riding over the hill Riding over the hill
