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 [bad word] 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
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
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
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 [bad word] crawling back again
Ashes scatter, burning jacob's ladder
I'm afraid i might fade away
