Flesh `n` Blood Lyrics

Over time I've come to feel

That everything must come apart it seems

From the little child to the man of power

From the beggar to the angel of my dreams

From the thinnest thread we are sewn together

From the finest string we dangle over time

From the highest wire do we walk through fire

Should our balance ever falter

Should our steps be unaligned

Such a big storm yeah such a strong wind blowing

Such a loud voice calling for me to cross the line



CHORUS

But I'm not gonna give up the ghost

no, not gonna give up the ghost

I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no not gonna give it up

'Cause I haven't the strength to hold out too long

If we both hold on together we can make each other strong



After all we're flesh 'n' blood

After all we're flesh 'n' blood

After all we're flesh 'n' blood

After all we're flesh

After all we're flesh 'n' blood

After all we're flesh 'n' blood

After all we're flesh 'n' blood

After all we're flesh



Drop the mask take away the house

And forget about the income and the car

We're all the same underneath our shell

We've all been to hell and we know what it's like

And we've shared each other's sins

We all know what it's like to give up the fight

We've all been ashamed at one time or another

We all have dreams and nightmares too



When it all comes down we'll look out for each other

(No one else will)

But when I hear the call when I feel the thirst

When the catcher comes to take my soul

He's gonna have to fight me first



CHORUS



Every cloud has a silver lining

And every soul is tender to the touch

We are made of stone, we are made of steel

And we're all the same when we return to dust

But when I hear the call when I feel the thirst

When the catcher comes to take my soul

He's gonna have to fight me first . . .



CHORUS OUT
