MACHINE HEAD
"Not Long For This World"

[Chorus:]
Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this world

My tomb of alabaster
These wounds have festered into sores
Confess to lord and master
Blessed, oh sweet love, my labour

[Refrain:]
Helpless and free
A kingdom beckoning me

[Chorus:]
Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this world

Sing now for lonely bastards
Blue rain upon my plastic soul
Demons that 'cause disaster
Some sins I never will atone

[Refrain:]
Helpless and free
A kingdom beckoning me

[Bridge:]
Behold the gods of every black eternity
The petals fall from roses on your effigy
And tears are all that's left, a burning memory
We go to the light, relinquish the fight
Death take my hand far from this misery

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this world
Through the struggles life hurls
Behold the heavens unfurl
Not long for this
Not long for this
Not long for this world
