The Stand Lyrics

The Stand lyrics

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 wom 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

 

 Come on down & meet your maker

 Come on down & make the stand

 Come on down, come on down,

 Come on down & make the stand.

 

 As i crawled beneath the searchlights

 Looking through the floorboards of this life

 I met doctor strangeloves 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 & we'll make the stand.

 

 Come on down & meet your maker

 Come on down & make the stand

 Come on down, come on down,

 Come on down, we'll 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 on down & meet your maker

 Come on down & make the stand

 Come on down, come on down,

 Come on and make the stand

 

 Come on down & meet your maker

 Come on down & make the stand

 Come on down, come on down,

 Come on down, & we'll make the stand.
