Henry Metal Bodhisattva
Another cigarrette and whiskey
I can't tell where this went wrong
World's gettin' hard to figure out now
And I don't know where I do belong
As long as space and time remain
It is that long that I'll stay
To ease the burden and the pain
Of sentient beings
It's gettin' hard to pick a side now
I tell you people, hell is real
And all them boys back up in the mountains
They don't know just how it feels
As long as space and time remain
It is that long that I'll stay
To ease the suffering and the pain
Of sentient beings
Can you dig the dirt?
Can you stay the hurt?
Can you find the worth?
On the planet Earth
Can you wait behind?
Can you lead the blind?
Do you know what's right?
Can you find the light?
And when the night gets darker still
And the evil boils and spills
And it seems there's no way out
I will become my vow
As long as space and time remain
It is that long that I'll stay
To ease the burdens and the pain
Of all sentient beings
