The Warmth Of Dawn
05:40
|
|
||
A lone forgotten farm
Devoid of any kind of hope
The walls, they tell a tale
Fate’s hanging on by a nail
Long past debts paid up in full
The time for talking is gone
The sky bled purple and red
A voice is calling deep below
There’s secrets buried beneath the floor
The ghosts all hold their hands close
Their dance it just keeps going on
Till the first warmth of dawn
This house it seeps inside of you
There’s blood underneath the cracking paint
They say you can leave it all behind
In dreams all I see our ghosts
I can hear their voices in the walls
Calling me back to that old house
There’s a fear that's been buckling my bones
The time for talking is gone

Some Secrets
03:40
|
|||
The sun it sets on a troubled sky
And the darkness awakes, awaits
A solemn gift, a subtle lie
They walk beside us, inside us and behind
The words spoken long ago
A curse weighing on my soul
Some secrets are better left alone
Some secrets weren’t meant to be known
Who will take my hand
Who will guide my way back home
I guess I lost my way
My soul they would not take
I'm living out a Hank Williams song
Whom I kidding man I aint got no home
All’s I need man is just a little bit of warmth
The pitch black night wraps its dark wings around you
Like a festering blanket full of cigarette burns
That incomprehensible darkness invades then devours you
From the Abyss no one returns

The Sky Awaits
03:46
|
|||
The sky awaits and the sinners cry
The souls they wept when their hearts went dry
With whiskey breath, ashtray eyes
Born of lies they cannot rise
Its all a bore we heard a million times
Of the lovers lost in the darkest nights
They bet their souls on borrowed time
I reckon they felt it was worth it even though it didn’t end right
They hit the corner them tires screamed
The engine howled they burned out their flames
For those who walk in shadows to long
Reflect the darkness of their sad sad songs
There’s no comfort in hellfire flame
Waiting at the station for that hell bound train
The way she walked sent shivers down my spine
The way she talked sent fevers through my mind
The way she loved, that sky above is calling

Left Hand path
02:28
|
|||
There is a fire inside of me
Its burning my eyes I just cant see
The right way forward in front of me
I find myself on the left hand path
There is a way through heavens holy gate
Well I aint looking hard, and I aint found it yet
Trumpets and holy ghosts, blood to wine, eat the host
I'm on that left hand path, I'm on that left hand path
The fires burning hot consuming everything
A golden hand reached down and clipped both my wings
Walking on bloody feet in a broken field of glass
I keep walking that left hand path
Well I didn’t buy in to the blood of the lamb
Aint no one but you can carry your sins
Aint no wishful thinking can take back whats been said
I'm on that left hand path
Well sparks they start to rise ashes within
Reaching for a heaven that may not exist
You cant find my spirit dancing in the wind
Drifting down that left hand path, drifting down that left hand path

Angel Eyes
04:03
|
|||
I took a deep breath and crept towards the window
I thought I saw your angel eyes
Atop your head sat a burned out halo
Smoldering with a tombstone smile
Well I hear scratches at my front door
Every morning a blue sunrise
Still shadows in the darkest corners
I think I saw your angel eyes
A cold pale blue fathomless sorrows
Rivers flow from Angels eyes
I wish I could read them bones or tea leaves
Reveal the devils that got you tied
Well I hear scratches at my front door
Every morning a blue sunrise
A still shadow in the darkest corner
I think I saw your angel eyes
And she said go to sleep darling
Shut them mournful eyes
While the rain wails above us
And the night sky it cries
Don't dream of nothing
Like two ribbons we where tied
As dark wings wrap around us
And swallow the last light
Swallow the last light

Only The Wind
03:39
|
|||
There’s only the wind left to sing my song
Under the Rocky Mountain night is where I belong
Listening to the timber creak and crack and moan
There’s only the wind left to sing my song
There’s only the stars left to guide me home
Ive been forever turned around and lost
As the fear starts to fade and lose hold
There’s only the stars left to guide me home
Im holding tight ya by a thread
Im losing timeI might have lost my head
I cant walk back so I fall instead
To light my way a cigerette ash
There’s only the wind to sing my song
There’s only the stars to guide me home, home, home

I Dream In Blue
03:22
|
|||
I dream in blue because the truth for so long was lost to me
If heaven is a lie well darling don’t you cry
A life is worth more than it all
No fear from the grave I’m a friend to the flame
When I close my eyes all I see is blue
Walking side by side down that railroad track
I turn away and then your gone
Stumbling darkness closing in I'm fading
I lie and shake and wait for the dawn
I dream in blue because the truth for so long was lost to me
When hearts untrue intentions confused
That's why when I close my eyes all I see is blue, blue blue

Endless Sky
03:11
|
|||
The worm who walks by way of star light
Swallowing my will to be watching from inside
I haven't felt myself for a long while
I haven't felt myself for a long while
The stars sure look strange, reality gives way
The horizon starts to fade, the horizon fades away
A vision of endless sky's
Eternal eyes who judge
A trial of flaming lies
Payments in flesh and blood
I haven't been myself for a long while
I haven't been myself for a long while
The worm who walks by way of starlight
The endless sky's sends shivers through my spine
Swallowing my will to be watching from inside
The endless sky's send shivers down my spine

Looking Glass
01:38
|
|||
She took my palm and spat upon it
And stared into me like a looking glass
She saw my sorrow and fell upon it
Stirring up them memories of my past
Can I free this soul by letting go
Will I ever bury all them haunted bones
Should I take it slow live like a crow
Scavenging a feeling from a corpse
She flashed a smile her gaze upon me
And we both broke out in a laugh
I knew my fate it was no mystery
And all my fears faded in a rifle blast

Free Sunshine
04:00
|
|||
Today I saw through the trees
I'm staring out at a sea of evergreen
The breeze it bites but it don’t bother me
And the sunshine its always free
Warming up my bones
Feed this blackened hole
Share your sacred sign
Burnt into my mind
Head up I can finally breath
Eyes burned open I can finally see
A river of light and gold poor through the trees
Today that sun shines for me
Shines for me
Shines for me
Keep shining on
Keep shining on

The Blood Is The Life
04:09
|
|||
Lay salt round my grave
Tie my bones in iron chains
Place a stone in my mouth
My bite is lethal
My bite is lethal
My kiss is cold
Your light it was a curse
I was blinded now I search
Through fading darkness a growing light
Your light is lethal
Your light is lethal
Your light is gone
We sleep all day
We shun the light
The blood, the blood is the life
Darkness has almost swallowed me
But I'm still grasping for the light
A candle in hurricane
Drowning in a sea of endless night
The night sky she keeps my secrets
The earth I call my home
The stars the only witness
When they put to rest my bones
The blood, the blood is the life
The blood, the blood is the life
We sleep all day
We shun the light

Dead End Story
03:34
|
|||
Tilt your head to the sky
The night it falls the stars they shine
This dream gave up on you and I
For tonight lets live this lie
The wind it sings through the trees
All asleep but you and me
Another page in this dead end story
One more hole in this graveyard of memories
It wont stop raining in my heart
There aint no fire to keep me warm
But in your eyes I see a spark
Lets feed it and kill this dark
Kill this dark
Kill this dark

Ascending
04:21
|
|||
Goodbye to this face, to this form, to this world
I can hear them calling my name
There's cobwebs on my brain
My fingers start to shake
This world was never my home
Whats left, whats left can you leave it all behind
Will you burn out like the sunshine in your eyes
Theres a hell in this sorrow why do I dream why do I bother
The night grows longer and the coals they start to smolder
This face, this form, this world is not my home
Its a concept in a dead gods dying mind
Through the cracks bear witness a final lie
Buried deep deep deep down inside
A whisper a dying breath a final sigh
A whisper a dying breath a final sigh
