Inner Circle 04:48
BlackElk came to the stream Devour river flower White jeweled snake of the weeds When you got to be free Live off the land BlackElk came in my sleep BlackElk came to the stream Devour river flower When you got to be free

Horology 03:16
I don't care much for beginning but somehow my heart turns to pickup Just to survive means the last one to die I was in my bed I was singing when you came in Let the light within come and shine through open door Now Olan, outside is mistaken for whitetail deer in the fire of the dawn Why would you believe? You began your decent and I ceased to rise for thee Then the shadow came to be Before man marked time by heavenly body Where do you fit in the hollow of my heart? Do you fill most men like a carriage or a car? Outside the ruins are forsaken No one sold me the floating bowl of the Brahms Why would you believe? You began your decent and I cased to rise for thee Then the shadow came to be Before man marked time by heavenly body

W.C. Fields 03:38
I prefer the misery of W.C. Fields Open up my suitcase, honey I'm real Never have I found love so grateful and true I woke up no thinking like a star So, far away, don't lead me to her Rows and Rows of maze, don't lead me to her There are no chains but what will happen when we all go strange? Dreadnought on the bounty, spotlight of the bay Stay with me or I'm leaving like a star So, far away, don't lead me to her The ground was black with blood, don't lead me to her There are no chains No levee I can't break Something outside, not worth keeping someone I love to leave me the fuck alone Every new day, every hour never go astray or fall apart So, far away, don't lead me to her

Tonight I wade down blonde bear river Don't know it yet but I want me a new start The rowan seed is a saintly green on MIdnight River Now I'm leaving got no one to consider My old my man says the plymouth wont start The rowan seed is a saintly green on Midnight River and I said I'm a lucky one, amen Remember when it ran like a dream? When it first came out and the engine was fast a clean? Now it just sits in the weeds Never have I gone and closed the door Never have I seen there sunny faces Iron maiden but soft in the middle My old my ma says we wont go far The rownan seed is a saintly green on Midnight river and I said I'm a lucky one, amen

Follow her down to the water On wet stone we'd walk in the evening's last hour Stay with my love baby got that power I believe in this journey through the past Angel of the river bottom bend my heart back before it began And grace us with the bull's mark to mend like a star Wash my feet in the dirty water If theres time for god then there's time for a shower Stay with the ghost he got the dead man's power On wet stone we'd walk through the past Angel of the river bottom bend my heart back before it began And grace us with the bull's mark to mend like a star Brothers again Hey son, are you bound for glory? I believe in the wicked games of Christ before me Angel of the river bottom bend my heart back before it began And grace us with the bull's mark to mend like a star Brothers again

Hardbody 04:29
Someday down the road she takes me in my robe spinning tires like barbed wires in my clothes Jesus, she don't know the difference in my love or how I stood just to look out of her window First, it was dark then you came in A darkness like nothing I could be To get up now and leave me Hardbody, it don't grow on vitamins or healthy homes fertility of a new breed baby just let it go First, it was dark then you came in A darkness like nothing I could be To get up now and leave me I think i was born born with the power to recognize your face and in the silence in the early napping hour I climbed upon a new stage First, it was dark then you came in A darkness like nothing I could be To get up now and leave me

Ditchlore 04:02
Don't let anyone fool you, when you die theres no one to cling to The whole world will rise with an answer, one black brood mare and one steel harrow First came the kids, then the empire was split and theres no way Im gonna chain all I have to say The fire we built was hard work but it came up lame I just want to be a part of the flame Now I rise with the sunset, what will we be? What's come upon us? Haunted by Marianella, one glass of wine will surely show us First came the kids, then the empire was split and there's no way I'm gonna chain all I have to say The fire we built was hard work but it came up lame I just want to be a part of the flame

Gold is just a stone I suppose I feel it in my belly in my bones and care about all the nights we have to spend alone Gold is just a stone I suppose And being Lord of Haiti is just the same as waking up in Dallas voodoo rain and not to even have a dollar to your name being Lord of Haiti is just the same What else can I do? I'm lost and tired of you left shattered blue, empty handed for you It's where my home could be where one can drive without his shirt on but unlucky for me the generals been drinking The sculptress makes her way she's tall and dark and got nothing to say and everyone was there to touch her long black hair So I wait for it and I take from it what I will And the name of it as I lay above it I can't tell Is there a map for me there? A promise for every need? Going down the wire I'm burning

Tangled knots of branch left floating downstream General I want my mornings back I must admit this is all suddenly new to me Using the ferry to try and get back Battle scars are seen in western Tennessee no easy place to call home On all the rocks they painted don't tread on me but I've got nowhere else to go Who decides the order of marching men across the frozen lake? I burn burn burn but that body wont return to me Wilderness of grace and swampy twilight I'm taking survey in the dark I went out looking for my love in the night but the rivers cross like snakes in the tar Who decides the order of marching men across the frozen lake because I burn burn burn but that body wont return to me There's something about the past I've yet to see Like a hundred barrels taken from one tree Behind the sunrise the shadows often flee With your hands on me The belt of time wrapped loosely around your shoulders Blowing free
