Is a holy man a gambling man Is a holy man a drunken fool Is a holy man a whore at heart Doing all that he can do To never cry no more Joy and sorrow long forgotten Just trying to survive My heart washed up like the dead jackal Vultures picking at his eyes Now he won’t cry no more Fly like the heron flies Rise from these wicked lies Die like the heron dies And don’t you cry no more Fly like the heron flies Rise from these wicked lies Die like the heron dies And don’t you cry no more Bleed until you’re empty Hurt until you’re numb The world tastes so bitter now Don’t you cry no more
