[Verse 1] Long's the life Steep's the climb I took the match and I lit the fire, fire Pain for the pain My guts ache Built by the sin that was taught by the father, the father [Pre-Chorus] Now come and walk with me [Chorus] A journey of a thousand miles It starts with one step Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know Harvesting the souls Burying the bones [Verse 2] Deep is the hole Shovel's always full I bit the dog and I beat the master, master Eye for an eye Tooth's been pulled Lost all control that was taught by the mother, the mother [Pre-Chorus] Now come and walk with me [Chorus] A journey of a thousand miles It starts with one step Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know Harvesting the souls Burying the bones [Verse 3] Another feeble man Arms outstretched in a distant land Wonders where it all went wrong He's followed us too long Another fallen man That failed to make a stand What have I done wrong Left here all alone The voice inside my head Is it me or an alien? Throw me down the stairs Since I just don't care anymore [Bridge] I can't take the wind, I can't fight the storm anymore I don't have the will, I can't be the storm anymore Anymore Anymore [Chorus] A journey of a thousand miles It starts with one step Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know Harvesting the souls, burying the bones [Outro] The hurricane's eye is like the calm before the storm Darkening the shore, settling the score A butterfly's wings can start tornadoes, don't ya know Harvesting the souls, burying the bones of old
