This bluesy song's been a staple of my live sets for a long time. I love playing it, stomping along, screaming too loud, as though I am the volcano.
As much as the song probably suits that simple, live recording style I did it in before, I was really curious what it'd sound like with bass and drums and...I'm pretty chuffed
lyrics
Time will grind, grind me down to dust
Time will grind, grind me down to dust
I'm 3 miles high and reach for the sky, but
Time will grind, grind me down to dust
Rain will wash, wash away my crown
Rain will wash, wash away my crown
It is soft and I am strong. It'll keep up until I'm gone
Rain will wash, wash away my crown
Tide will take, take away my roots
Tide will take, take away my roots
I'm tough as nails, and you can't see how I fail
Tide will take, take away my roots
Core will heat, heat me till I melt
Core will heat, heat me till I melt
Burn and crush until I'm fiery slush
Core will heat, heat me till I melt
Then I'll rise, I will rise again
I will rise, I will rise again
I was born and then I died, now I'm back for another ride
I will rise, I will rise again
Time will grind, grind me down to dust
Time will grind, grind me down to dust
I'm 3 miles high and reach for the sky, but
Time will grind, grind me down to dust
