about

A bluesy, gospely, prog-rocky track about choosing to hold onto the past and get even with those you've left behind. It's a bad idea, but hopefully makes for a good tune. Enjoy.

lyrics

::LYRICS::

I feel the rain
Rolling down my back
I'm not afraid
of what we lack

Let 'em come, let their
blood be washed away
Let ‘em come, redeem
The sins of yesterday

It's not too late
Turn back around
But don't make me wait
To put you down

Come inside, and let me
show you where I sleep
Step inside, where I have
sown what you will reap

Hoo-ooh, hoo-hoo
Hoo-ooh, hoo-hoo

Can't even ask
Forgiveness now
He'd only laugh
If he looked down

No more hope, and no more
Time for you to kill
Only way I'm gonna
Die is on the hill

You took me home
When we were lost
But all that you promised
Died on the cross

Thought I knew a man who'd
Rise above the pain
But now it's you and the gun
Back in love again

Ghosts of the past, come to take hold of me
Scream in my ear that it’s eye for an eye
You are the last, sent here to set me free
Come down like thunder from the sky

I hear the wind
Howl through the trees
Stand in the dark
You’ll fear the beast

I see the fire
Burn in the field
We’re bound to die, tonight
So let’s spin the wheel

Lie with the damned
Top of the mound
Before the black
You’ll see me now

You’ll see me now
You’ll see me now
You’ll see me now
You’ll see me now

YOU’LL SEE ME NOW
YOU’LL SEE ME NOW
YOU’LL SEE ME NOW
YOU’LL SEE ME NOW
