Slash - Crucify The Dead lyrics

rate me

(feat. Ozzy Osbourne, Taylor Hawkins)

The fire started long ago

The flames burned out, still embers glow

So charred and black

There's nothing left to burn, to burn

We had the same dream

Lived life to extreme

A loaded gun jammed by a rose

The thorns are knots around your head

Your ego cursed you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah

The future is unset in stone

Decisions past leave you alone

Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah

New soldiers now say

That your beggars collect

Re-crucified and paid by you

The thorns are knots around your head

Your ego cursed you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah

We were like brothers with the world in our hands

You always have too much to say

Someday you look back and you wonder why

You let it all slip away, yeah

[SOLO]

Crucify the dead

Crucify the dead

The thorns are knots around your head

Your ego cursed you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah
