The Coral The Oldest Path song lyrics

The oldest path beneath the grave

Lies a myth that's still the same

There ain't no way to make a change

Till kings and queens have walked in chains

And the wind, it blows them down

And the sea, it takes them in

In their sleep, you'll find the answer

To everywhere they have been

Sailors tossed by stormy seas

All in the name of slavery

Arm in arm, toe to toe

Sometimes your best friend is your foe

And the wind blows them down

And the sea, it takes them in

In their sleep, you'll find the answer

To everywhere they have been

Side by side, their past's in disguise

Together alone as he greeted the tide

And on the water knees lay the thoughts

Of a hundred sunken shackle bound souls

And the wind blows them down

And the sea, it takes them in

In their sleep you'll find the answer

To everywhere they have been
