One day these boots will leave this town
One day the mountains will come crashing down
One day will be the longest night
One day those wings will tire in flight

Oh my lord, oh my lord
It's death I can't afford

One day there'll be nowhere to go
One day that river will burst and overflow
One day the wind will tame the flame
One day that's never coming back again

Oh my lord, oh my lord
It's death I can't afford

One day there'll be nothing left to do
One day the rainbow will break on through
One day, every day I'll think of you
One day I'll say goodbye, ain't that true

Oh my lord, oh my lord
It's death I can't afford

One day I'll come back for you
One day you'll feel the chill
One day you and I will be the same
One day we'll fall together as the rain

Oh my lord
It's death I can't ignore
