When you're sick and afraid
And there's danger around
Take a pick and a spade
And Cut into the ground
Away from the light
Away from the sound
Make a trap for the beast
Dig his burial mound
Dig for your life
Dig to the death
Dig for Salvation
Till your very last breath
Dig for protection
Dig for release
Dig for resurrection
Dig for peace
We old ones, have seen two wars
When you dream of a laser
That sears your soul
Slices like a razor
Burns like coal
You can bet you'll forget
When the rock starts to roll
And the last meets the least
By the watering hole
Dig it down deep
Dig it out wide
Dig it pleasure
Dig it for pride
Dig it for treasure
Dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal
And dig it for the bones
We old ones, have seen two wars.
We old ones, have seen two wars When you're sick and afraid And there's danger around Take a pick and a spade And Cut into the ground Away from the light Away from the sound Make a trap for the beast Dig his burial mound Dig for your life Dig to the death Dig for Salvation Till your very last breath Dig for protection Dig for release Dig for resurrection Dig for peace We old ones, have seen two wars When you dream of a laser That sears your soul Slices like a razor Burns like coal You can bet you'll forget When the rock starts to roll And the last meets the least By the watering hole Dig it down deep Dig it out wide Dig it pleasure Dig it for pride Dig it for treasure Dig it for stones Dig it for the metal And dig it for the bones We old ones, have seen two wars.
