Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat's off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stained
And what comes crawling back again
Tears are harbored
Down to the thorny altar
I'm afraid i might fade away
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
There's a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Ashes scatter, burning jacob's ladder
I'm afraid i might fade away
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
Where's the solitary sun? too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
Where's the solitary sun? too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
The rage untethered, the soul a stony desert
I'm afraid i might fade away
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat's off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stained
And what comes crawling back again
Ashes scatter, burning jacob's ladder
I'm afraid i might fade away
