[Verse 1]
Tears of the feeble
Hands of the slaves
Skin of the mothers
Mouths of the babes

Building the towers
Belongs to the sky
When the whole thing comes crashing down
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why

Under the shelf
The shelf of the sky
Two eyes, two suns
Two heavenly blinds

Swallowing rivers
Belongs to the sea
When the whole thing washes away
Don't run to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be going down
For the rest of the slide
While the rest of you
Harvest the gold

[Chorus]
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall

I'm the wreck of you
I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the break and the fall

[Verse 2]
Under the red
Break of the lights
Heroes in stretches
Inch to the site

Blowing the pieces
Belongs to the wind
When the whole thing blows away
I won't pretend, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be going down
For the rest of the ride
While the rest of you
Harvest the gold

[Chorus]
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall

I'm the wreck of you
I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the break and the fall

[Bridge]
Under the red
Break of the lights
Lies the wreck of you
For the rest of your life

[Chorus]
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall

I'm the wreck of you
I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the break and the fall

While the rest of you harvest the gold
While the rest of you harvest the souls

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
