Black Widow Woman
04:03
|
|||
I've been running 'round these hills
since I was twelve years old
I've come across some heartache
on every dusty road
these men they say they love me
you know they always lie
I think I find an honest one
and I have to say goodbye
met that black widow woman
when I was drinkin at the bar
we did ourselves and eight ball
and we stole ourselves a car
went on down to the river
in our brand new stolen truck
steel .45 to the back of my head
knew I was shit out of luck
black widow woman
turning men to fools
head on down to the blue ridge mountain
hear that woman's news
born in old kentucky raised in west virginia
don't you know that damn
black widow woman's gonna kill ya
I met that black widow woman
when I was seventeen
we lived down by them dusty mines
so I promised her a ring
I thought that evil woman
had a heart of gold
never knew she'd be a diamond
turned back into coal
I've been running 'round these hills
and now I'm growing old
I've come across some heartache
on every dusty road
these men they say they love me
you know they always lie
thought I had an honest one
but I had to say goodbye

The Damaged
03:06

She walks, dragging like a corpse
with her heart hanging low
and that old comfortable feeling
chills her to the bone.
he talks, nobody hears him
its getting old
one more shot to numb the feeling
soon he'll be out the door.
out that door one more time
and alone separately they cry
break me out of this cage
break me out of these bones
I'm locked and chained
raise me out of this flood
I'm drowning in my veins
treat me like a dagger
put me in my place
don't it seem like just yesterday
that it all was fine
how quickly does it all change
reading between the lines
so it stands, how the damaged
seem to love their kind
and they wait for someone to save them
too afraid to try
desperately hear them cry for help
but no one can save you from yourself

Sink In The Soil
04:33
|
|||
A pot full of blood with no fire or coil
turned away and dismissed
surely will boil
in our hours of guilt and sorrow we toil
just as bones left alone
slowly sink in the soil
give me the sacred life that I once led
black crow carry me home
weigh all that I have
let it sink to the bottom
on oily dark wings I'll roam
in the time I've wasted
looking around I've grown blind
in the time I've wasted
shutting my mouth I've grown quiet
and I can hold on for arms overhead
or rethink all these words that I've said
love or hate what's deserved
in the end its just me
just me and what I want things to mean
I stack those stones high
to try and separate
the shadows from the darkness
buried by the walls I've made
with ashes to anger
and dust to disgrace
a place for all things
and all things in their place
this ground is for spirits
of forgotten lives
I hear them whisper to me
singing their sorrow
with eyes sick and hollow
they're reaching for something to keep
creep to the water
don't let them see you
they'll steal your soul
and drain your heart for a taste of truth

Dominion Flowers

|

Old dominion flowers
drink Virginia rain
and I'm going off to that spot
where your last words remain
when will that day come
when I don't feel the blame
and who thought I'd
be the one they'd never see again
I went to the doorway
collapsed in the frame
I hung my head low
and those flowers did the same
like all the I needed
was someone to say
boy, get your mind off those
things you cant change
and I dug a grave
and inside I buried shame
don't give me no comfort
no I'll be just fine
an ocean of words say
you ain't got much time
your breath came short
and your eyes they went blind
and that wave folded on me
and I drowned beneath the tide
and I dug a grave
and inside I buried shame
I don't ever wanna find the things I lost again

Fauna's Song
04:04
|
|||
Wayward winds blow my way
tell me everything will be okay
floating soft, letting me rise awake
howling through freezing rain
February is cracking decayed
falling off,we move
like the dead limbs sway
let the night fall
and the storms rain down
I'm gonna dig my feet
into the solid ground
if the sun don't come
and the clouds don't clear
turn your head I am standing here
through smoky mirrors we clear our way
treading on coals of our yesterdays
forging on, in all that appears an escape
the joy in all we called mistakes
a halo of green on a forsaken grave
fauna's song, into the concept of fate

All Fall Down
02:52
|
|||
Tell the buzzard come down
tell him pick my heart away
I don't need it anymore, no
its only bringing me pain
tell virginia creeper come out
wrap around my weary brain
I don't want it anymore
only makes my cold heart ache
let it all fall down
Tell the devil come down
tell him take my soul away
I don't want it anymore
can't pay back the debt I've made
send the hounds on out
tell 'em they can lead the way
I can hear them dogs howlin
dragging bones and rattling chains
let it all fall down
It'll fall back into place
I can't take this way of living
somebody come take it away

Dogs A Howlin'
04:15
|
|||
I walk the path before me
cut with each step I take
the fog hung low like my heavy heart
but it wont break
A shadow creeps behind me
so close that I could feel
a chill so cold just like a ghost
a breath upon my heels
And yet a familiar feeling
like that of an old foe
the walk of a tired demon
come to take me down below
I realized when I heard the dogs howling
like a siren trying to take me home
in my pain it burned away
but that echo still remains
of a life I walked away from long ago
In mud and sinking quickly
no solid ground, alone
thought I was safe a sorry state
was all I had to mourn
All those empty winters
trapped me in your hold
the flames like rage in your embrace
so sick but not alone
Oh faithful companion
that sorrow in your cry
now I run from what I'd become
and I'm leaving you behind
At night I still hear them dogs a' howlin
they try to take me down but I wont go
Cause I fell into that fire
and I walked out of those coals
I've been through hell ain't going back no more.

Forgotten Or Forgiven
02:14
|
|||
I see all these autumn leaves
falling to the ground everyday
have I been just holding on
waiting for the wind to take me away
this burning in my soul
but I know the embers burnt out long ago
every passing moment of clarity
please come back home and set me free
old crows they'll claim its love
then turn around and talk when you're gone
and I never had much to say
but it don't take much for them crows to write a song
forgotten or forgiven
I know its all the same to me
old crows just leave me alone
just go back home and leave me be

Mourning Dove
02:10
|
|||
mourning dove take me home
down by the water
gonna rest my bones
far away from myself
take me back to freedom
lay me down lay me down
rest my soul with your sound
sing aloud sing aloud
won't you stay before me
hear your call hear your cry
somber in the morning light
come on in away you fly
like the days before me
so it stands there you go
off in the night but tomorrow
you'll be back yes I know
back to sing my story

Del Fuego
04:04
|
|||
Got a song on my mind
and a tank full of gasoline
been working 9 to 5
we're leaving at 8:15
I am an ax blade ragged and worn
overworked and forgotten
laid to rust in the sun
oh that chopping, that hellish sound
wash the blood from my blade
and oh no you wont be found
lord, we're going down
gonna travel 'round this country
I'm gonna get around
strumming strings, smoke and drinkin
in every single town
I am a freight train with iron and coals
I'm running off the tracks
and you're choking on that smoke
through the fire I screech and howl
when we get to where we're going
we'll be six feet underground
we're going down
fire burning aint going out
bullet flying aint slowing down
shadow walking and I'm hell bound
I am a switch blade, rusted and toxic
I'll cut out your heart
while youre reaching in your pockets
cold steel and silence, don't you turn around
when we get to where we're going
we'll be six feet under ground
we're going down

Gray Water
02:49
|
|||
Going down to that water
like we used to do
watching the willows swaying in the breeze
like the time, where does it go
and you fly like the heron
out of my arms
and the sky turned gray
like the gravel road you rode away on
gonna drive my car into the sunset
watch it burn away
funny how I was never one for running
I guess that's just something I said
like the sky
swallowed up by the night and i'm gone
maybe I will rise up out of that darkness
just like the dawn
gonna take my trouble to the ocean
drowned, lay it all to rest
funny how I could never stand in gray water
and now I'm in over my head
and it's a tragic feeling
don't know where to go
just sing my heart out and cry nevermore
