Higher, higher ground Everything I've lost, casts a shadow I'm never coming down, never coming down 'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground And everything I love, walks away from me

Yeah, we all fall down The higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground What makes a man work until it's kids too old to kiss and hug He won't climb another imaginary mountain when he is in love enough What makes a man build a kingdom all

Walking around at midnight Looking for my marking stone I was born an honest way One foot go the right way I feel like I'm itching Well I am an old man I've got nothing more to say Take me to higher ground I wondered on back home

'Cause it won't be too long Till I reach my highest ground World keep on turnin' 'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then Gonna keep on tryin' People keep on learnin' Soldiers keep on warrin'

Sexual (hallucination) This is what I crave It's my obsession, possession began (Physical, psychical, illumination) Intoxication, fascination (There's no denying) There's no coming down (Higher ground) (Out of body)

Old One, Master All beauty lies within All beauty lies within you A higher power underground From seraph skies and now to chaos bound He is sitting sacred and profound In midst of sinners licking up to kiss his crown Pathetic humans in despair Defaced,

Yeah, we all fall down The higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground What makes a man work until it's kids too old to kiss and hug He won't climb another imaginary mountain when he is in love enough What makes a man build a kingdom all

Said I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) Is all I ask I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) I don't want no future (Want your future) I don't need no past (Need no

Yeah, we all fall down The higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground What makes a man work until it's kids too old to kiss and hug He won't climb another imaginary mountain when he is in love enough What makes a man build a kingdom all
