  • Put your hands into the water
    Let your mouth go sick and dry
    Put your life into your death now
    Let them sing until you die
    Die, die, die, yeah

    Radical rather than rhetorical
    Babble like an oracle
    Why am I always in your debt?
    Father and the son and the holy ghost
    Communist comatose
    Show me all the wagers are a bet
    The middle of a nuclear winter
    Is a modern achievement of the retro apocalyptic horde
    Satan? You must be mistaken
    There are no more Satans
    Only the bosses on the board
    Forget, deny, ignore, nice try, it's you
    Regret, rely, remorse inside of you
    Yeah

    Maybe you've been down too long
    Maybe you've been down too long

    The heart begins to suffer
    When the soul has given up
    And the flesh is barely more than bone
    When no one else is listening
    Only when you've had enough
    Time to sing this dying song alone
    Put your hands into the water
    Let your mouth go sick and dry
    Put your life into your death now
    Let them sing until you die
    Die, die, die, yeah

    Maybe you've been down too long
    Maybe you've been down too long

    Think hard, you bastards
    You're gonna tell me why
    If I don't get an answer
    You're gonna sing and die
    Think hard, you bastards
    You're gonna tell me why
    If I don't get an answer
    You're gonna sing and die

    The heart begins to suffer
    When the soul has given up
    And the flesh is barely more than bone
    When no one else is listening
    Only when you've had enough
    Time to sing this dying song alone
    Put your hands into the water
    Let your mouth go sick and dry
    Put your life into your death now
    Let them sing until you die
    Put your hands into the water
    Let your mouth go sick and dry
    Put your life into your death now
    Let them sing until you die Writer/s: Alessandro Venturella, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Jay Weinberg, Jim Root, Michael Pfaff, Mick Thomson, Shawn Crahan, Sid Wilson
