The Greatest lyrics

once i wanted to be the greatest

no wind or waterfall could stop me

and then came the rush of the flood

the stars at night turned you to dust

melt me down

to big black armour

leave no trace

of grace

just in your honor

lower me down

that corporate slob

make a watch

for a space in town

for the lack of the dreds

of my bed i've been sleeping

lower me down

pin me in

secure the grounds

for the later parade

once i wanted to be the greatest

two fists of solid rock

when things i couldn't explain

any feelings

lower me down

pin me in

secure the grounds

for the lack of the drugs

my faith had been sleeping

for the later parade

once i wanted to be the greatest

no wind or water fall could stop me

and then came the rush of the flood

the stars at night turned you to dust
