Hear the lion roar
Hot to the ear
The taste of flesh
The smell of fear
Glory be the loudest
Of the wild cards played
Sound travels farthest
Coming from the grave
Test the strength of
That ole devil sea
The howling winds
The hated farm ways
The tide has turned against us
We’ve become slaves
Sound travels farthest
Coming from the grave
Does it take a hundred
Years to make a man
A difference of opinion
A smart way to ask
What answer can we question
What plan can we make
Sound travels farthest
Coming from the grave
Black ice on the bridge
Broken promises below
Drunken flavors and perfumes
And the eternal glow
In the eyes of a man
Standing at the gates
Sound travels farthest
Coming from the grave
Pole upon pole
Northeast and Southwest
Dance with your partner
A host to your guest
Through winter and fall
The oath never shakes
Sound travels farthest
Coming from the grave
