Lyrics
The Dying Kind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From the earth, you were made
To the earth, you returned
And I'll always speak your name
Let it burn, let it burn
Chase the bee for honey
Oh, she can sting
Bathe in holy water
Drown until you sing
Til you sing
Stand there in the garden
Names carved in the tree
Taste the good and evil
Fall down on your knees
In front of me
Every rose has its thorn
Every thorn has its crown
We're all the dying kind
Every rose has its thorn
Every thorn has its crown
We're all the dying kind
Bow your head in silence
In shadows pray
Lay down in the darkness
Let it see your face
Don't be afraid
Every rose has its thorn
Every thorn has its crown
We're all the dying kind
Every rose has its thorn
Every thorn has its crown
We're all the dying kind
From the earth, you were made
To the earth, you returned
And I'll always speak your name
Let it burn, let it burn
