Ernie Cortez Lyrics by Hoods

The King Is Dead

0

The day you died, was the day I cried
All alone on that hill with all of my friends by my side
That's the fucking world and the way that it works
Everything I loved, eight feet in the dirt
I've been here before, and I'll be here again
God took you away and I buried my friend
My heart feels empty and my blood runs cold
Your life came to a halt and you slipped in the ground
When you entered the ground, ink filled tears fell down
And I hope you're in a better place
My brother, this beer's for you
When you entered the ground, hardcore blues all around
And I hope you're in a better place
My brother, our tears for you
The day you died, was the day I cried
All alone on that hill with all of my friends by my side
That's the fucking world and the way that it works
Everything I loved, eight feet in the dirt
I've been here before, and I'll be here again
God took you away and I buried my friend
My heart feels empty and my blood runs cold
Your life came to a halt and you slipped in the ground
