Burning jacob's ladder

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
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
