The Day - Murder By Death

The trees gave up their roots

And the lepers left their caves

All the rattlesnakes came down from the mountains

And the kings all became slaves

On the day that my lord came

The fire split the beams

The wall’s coming down

The day my lord came

The tears filled up my eyes

So the curtain has been drawn

To lay to waste this land (to me)

It’s like the beauty of the breakin' of the dawn

And as a black hand swept across the earth

I know that the day came

When the fish float on the water with their bellies up

I know, I know, that the day came

All the rattlesnakes came down from the mountains

And the kings all became slaves

The trees gave up their roots from the earth

And the lepers left their caves

On the day that my lord came

The coyotes left their dens

The horses left their stables

And they bowed down to the ground

Every creature that was able

A blanket of moss will cover the earth

And I’ll know that the day came

It’s the changing of the guards

Time to start anew

The old gods have all failed

And their succesors too

My king, my king will wipe the slate clean

Houses become tombs

My king, my king will take what grows

In every woman’s womb

Make it his own

My king he is displeased

To be forgotten and alone

And the ones who came before

Well the valley gets filled with their bones

I am a storm brewing up in the east, the west

From every direction at once
