Slash - Crucify The Dead (Lyrics)

The fire started long ago

The flames burn down still embers glow

So charred and black

There's nothing left to burn, to burn

We had the same dream

Lived life to the extreme

A loaded gun jammed by a rose

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah

The future isn't set in stone

Decisions past leave you alone

Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah

New soldiers now stand

At your beck and command

Recruits they're bought and paid by you

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah

We were like brothers with the world in our hands

You always have too much to say

Some day you look back and you'll wonder why

You let it all slip away, yeah

Solo

Crucify the dead

Crucify the dead

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah
