Lyrics

The rod had struck the head and it fell off The rod had struck the hand; the whole construction fell apart The rod had hit the shins and they split The rod had hit the liver and it quit The rod had pierced the side and it burst The rod had whacked the back and shattered the whole spine The rod had hit and squashed the knees The rod had hit and broke the neck [Chorus] But to the heart it could not get No to the heart it could not get To the heart it could not get And crying just isn't enough my friend The rod had struck the chest; it collapsed The rod had struck and splintered most of the bones The rod had hit the stomach and it ripped The rod had hit the bladder and it slit The rod had hit and crushed the brain The rod had hit the mind; it got annihilated The rod even had a go on the spirit The rod had hit the soul and it was demolished [Chorus] But to the heart it could not get No to the heart it could not get To the heart it could not get And crying just isn't enough my friend
