Came back from the road the other day
Wouldn't be prepared for what mum would say
Daddy's gone, he won't come back no more
I couldn't keep my eyes from the blood on the floor

The thing on the cooling board had a scary grey face
Soon this body will be eaten by flames
And I shake and I shiver, I can't feel my hands
Seein' death ain't a natural thing
Seein' death ain't a natural thing

The hymns and the prayers sound void to me
I'm deaf to the words and I just can't see
The grace and the glory, or a halt from the fall
To me it don't make no sense at all

The tombstone's weathered and the flowers are dead
Your ashes are sealed in an urn of lead
I'm sorry, dad, I can't take care of your grave
Seein' death ain't a natural thing
Seein' death ain't a natural thing
Seein' death ain't a natural thing
