lyrics

Iron sharpens iron
so a friend sharpens a friend
stronger then steel
a bond until the end
horns of the revelation
signals congratulations
she came to greet you
salutation

The blood of the covenant
is thicker than the wine of the womb
a friendship like this
is bound for the tomb
beware of false profits
you reap what you sow
these are things
you oughta know

The grass isn’t always greener
these streets don’t make you meaner
swallow your pride so you can
open those eyes
the truth will set you free
what is lost cannot be seen
simple yet cynical these
facts can be criminal

The blood of the covenant
is thicker than the wine of the womb
a friendship like this
is bound for the tomb
beware of false profits
you reap what you sow
these are things
you oughta know

No past but infinite present
absent mind here in your presence
these are the things
you oughta know
