The Bargain
02:39
|
|||
|
Eight circles around a field
Crossing paths never walked before
Dig deep in those heels
Don’t be led, don’t be left behind
No mercy on our souls
A bargain has been struck
Your story’s been told
A fever in my bones
Its burning up my inside
I’ve given up control
Through the fire its revealed
A hidden door, another plane
The path no longer concealed
I see the way, I feel reborn
I see the way, I feel reborn
I see the way, I feel reborn
I see the way, I feel reborn

Wicked Wicked Train
03:20

Riding on that wicked wicked train
Riding on that wicked wicked train
The cursed path I followed
I made and lost some friends
Riding on that wicked wicked train
Shattered glass and broken dreams
Shattered glass and broken dreams
The sins of the past
That old road again
I’m riding on that wicked wicked train
The sunrise has lost its golden smile
The sunrise has lost its golden smile
The rumble of the rails
That lonesome whistle wine
I’m riding on that wicked wicked train
One more step and I’ll be on my way
One more step and I’ll be on my way
To burn in the hellfire
Let go of all this pain
I’m riding on that wicked wicked train
I’m riding on that wicked wicked train
I’m riding on that wicked wicked train
I’m riding on that wicked wicked train

I am the wind hear me blow
Among the stars in their glow
I was foretold, inevitable
I am darkness, a living shadow
A living shadow
Ancient and old
A truth to be told
And endless cold
Madness taking hold
Madness takes hold
I am the wind hear me blow
Among the stars in their glow
I was foretold, inevitable
I am darkness, a living shadow
A living shadow
Ancient and old
An endless cold
Where madness takes hold

Crooked Mile
03:47
|
|||
|
Cold, cold wind blowing at my back
Cold, cold wind walking down the railroad track
Walking down the railroad track
Well I know a place way off the mainline
I go there to lay low for a while
Its buried in the trees hidden from the sunshine
They call it the Crooked Mile
They call it the Crooked Mile
Cold, cold wind blowing at my back
Cold, cold wind walking down the railroad track
Walking down the railroad track
I pine away until the night
Comes rolling down on me
Then I slip away to drown out my mind
To kill whats left of me
To fill this endless need
To bury all my ghosts
If I believed in god above
I know I would be burning down below
If I believed in god above
I know I would be burning down below
If I believed in god above
I know I would be burning down below
If I believed in god above
I know I would be burning down below
I know I would be burning down below
I know I would be burning down below

The Number Thirteen
03:13
|
|||
|
The number 13 is tattooed on my chest
A symptom of the heartache and the sadness within
Where once beat a heart now a cold grey stone
We once heard a melody now a fading hum
A silence it falls no words are spoken
Where once was a home now its burned out and broken
And its still burning
Drawing out my ghosts
Forever haunting
In this life there are many words unspoken
Behind the flesh all people are broken
To find a way we search for light in others
But its easy to get lost in the darkness of another

Train Tracks
03:38
|
|||
|
There's a cold lonesome end
For this god forsaken man
There’s a hurt deep in my soul
My fingers bleeding from never letting go
Never letting go
The mind gets lost in the sky
Listening to the sound of the railroad whine
Well the train keeps rolling on why cant I
Well the train keeps rolling on why cant I
Well the train keeps rolling on why cant I
The sparrows all know my name
Way passed the edge of life and back again
From nothing well we once came
To nothing we all return again
We return again
We are tumbling on this endless loop
Well those old tracks they comfort and they soothe
And the train keeps rolling on why cant I
And the train keeps rolling on why cant I
And the train keeps rolling on why cant I

Damn It All
02:22
|
|||
|
God damn it all to the fiery below
Point them feet towards an open door
Feel that rain let it soak
Purifies a long gone soul
Fading like a winter wraith
At the first shine when the snow gives way
Once dead, now alive again
Once forgotten, once a broken thread
Damn it all, one foot in the grave
Its time to fold, my last hands been played
I hear that thunder calling me home
Lay a pallet down son and rest your weary soul

One Thousand Years
03:13
|
|||
|
One thousand years are over
And we’ve sunk back to the waves
The cataclysm is coming
As we gave into our graves
One thousand years are over
And im stuck here counting sand
Burning at the stake
Sacrificing to the land
One thousand years are over
One thousand years have past
The shadows walk among us
As we gasp for one last breath
One thousand years are over
And we’ve broken all our ties
We climbed past the mountains
And bled the bluest skies
One thousand years have come again
And they’ll rise up from the waves
The catalyst awakens
As they crawl out of their graves

Red Flowers
02:41
|
|||
|
I will bring you red flowers
I will sing you to sleep
I will tell you everything is alright
I will wipe your tears when you weep
This life is for the living
We’ve dug our own early graves
The flame built up within ourselves
Its fading fast and cant be saved
Our time is coming to a close
I know it really aint fair
This road of life has so many pot holes
Got you busted down going nowhere
I will bring you red flowers
I will sing you to sleep
I will just sigh when the sparrows say goodbye
When winters teeth have dug in deep
I hope you cherish them dead flowers
The smell of them sickeningly sweet
I know I lied when I said it would be alright
One day I hope you can forgive me
Oh god wont you forgive me

There aint no darkness darker than the grave
There aint no villain who cannot be saved
Aint enough whiskey to drown out this pain
There aint no darkness darker than the grave
A river keeps rolling along
The stars will shine long after your gone
For those who wandered far from home
Scattered to the wind we were thrown
There aint no fire that could keep me warm
There aint no shelter from a coming storm
The harvest is dying the fields full of bones
The fever aint breaking my last hopes have flown
There aint no darkness darker than the grave
There aint no villain who cannot be saved
Aint enough whiskey to wash away this pain
And there aint no darkness darker than the grave

Grab That Shovel
04:36
|
|||
|
The flames are licking at my fingers
The night it tries to hide a smile
All around I hear the whispers
Welcoming home this exile
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
Its nights like this make life worth living
Theres no sense keeping that wicked inside
A compulsion to keep on sinning
I keep a haunting them lonesome lines
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
I carry on my back the dead things
My sins have welded to my bones
Im moving forward but im still sinking
Im falling further from my soul
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the grave
Grab that shovel and put the whole world in the

Roses And Gravestones
02:28
|
|||
|
If I bled for you
Could I stand your truth
Will I ever rise again
I walked alone
Through roses and gravestones
Could I ever rise again
Memories on the breeze
Howling through and shaking knees
May I rise with you
Heard a song soft and low
On the wind a sad moan
Take my form and rise with me
Rise with me
If I bled for you
Could I stand your truth
Will I ever rise with you

Filthy Windowpane
04:47
|
|||
|
Your spirits a gift
And your thoughts there a trip
I would like some of your company for a while
Roll up some smoke
As we live out this joke
And we stare out that filthy windowpane
Staring out that windowpane
Watching the trees as they sway
The breeze blowing us away
I’m staring out that windowpane
As the day starts to fade
The breeze blowing us away
All my cares blowing away
I’m on that road I never could stay
Perhaps one day Ill find a way
There’s always a price seems I’m to pay
