The Suffering Song - Willard Grant Conspiracy

The evening sky has blown apart

The fire on the hills has all gone gray

And my mother’s got a few days left

She thinks it’s time we all

Learned to pray

And my sister’s in the kitchen

And my brother’s laying out his guns

And my father’s pacing in the hallway

Looks like they’ve all figured out

A way to run

It’s as old as the world

It’s as old as the world

The suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

The suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

And my mother’s gone to glory

I packed my books to a bag

This family is about to explode

I guess I’ll try my luck

Out on my own

And I know there’s life beyond this ridge

We can test the truths

We all know

And value what we keep

But for now

We should all go to sleep

It’s as old as the world

It’s as old as the world

The suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

The suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Suffering’s gonna come

To everyone

Someday

Someday

Someday
