Burning Jacob's Ladder
MARK LANEGAN · Blues Funeral 2012 · Track 04 of 13
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight I would go over but my only coat's off white And seeing things unreal God knows what that stain And what comes crawling back again
Tears are harbored Down to the thorny altar I'm afraid I might fade away
It'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
The ashes scatter Burning Jacob's ladder I'm afraid I might fade away
It'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
It'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
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 stain And what comes crawling back again
The ashes scatter Burning Jacob's ladder I'm afraid I might fade away
