Panning the crowd sifting for pain
For glittering eyes ready to rain
Then alone you appear
My first volunteer
You thought you struck gold but instead sold your soul
Oh take a deep breath
You just put your trust in the salesman of death
Oh hear what I said
You just put your trust in the salesman of death
Left crumbs on the trail you grab as we tread
At night where you lie I steal back the bread
You're the low man that lies
On the totem I climb
Like moss you'll be thrown from this old rolling stone
Oh take a deep breath
You just put your trust in the salesman of death
Oh hear what I said
You just put your trust in the salesman of death
When the blindfold comes off will you sink in despair?
Hang your head in your hands or close them in prayer?
Once you thought you were saved
Now you're sure you're enslaved
There's no one to blame cause you've locked your own chains
Oh take a deep breath
You just put your trust in the salesman of death
Oh hear what I said
You just put your trust in the salesman of death
