Dirt in the Ground by The Builders And The Butchers Lyrics

Daddy went out to the yard tonight
He was dancing on his very own grave
They gave him the box and the shovel and the cross
And you kept a hammering nails boy
You kept a hammering nails

Your house is on fire by your own two hands
And the flames they rose to the sky
And the neighbors all gathered at the edge of the grass
And you stole away in the night boy
You stole away in the night

And the dark old days
Are not too far away
And one day soon you'll be the dirt in the ground
When the sun came up the sun was black
The sun came up and the sun went out
One day soon you'll be the dirt in the ground

Daddy went out to the yard tonite
To take back everything that he gave
He went for house and the woods all around
So you stole away in the night boy
You stole away in the night
You passing in and under the dim moon light
The ground it breaks when you move
And you breath so quiet as your breaking the path
You got the trembling hands boy
You've got the trembling hands

And the dark old days
You can sing priase
To what the lord made
And you can cry those tears
When he's taking it all away

Daddy went out to the yard tonite but he was too far gone to be saved
By the priest or the book and cloth on the cross
And you kept a hammering nails
Oh you kept a hammering nails
