Written in Blood
I put the pieces together
I keep moving, I keep changing
I close the distance between us
I keep moving, I keep shaking (through time)
Darker days
After Rome had fallen
Gypsy slaves
Forever moving forwards
I put the pieces together
I keep moving, I keep changing
I close the distance between us
I keep moving, I keep shaking (through time)
Before the storm
I saw you waiting for them
The horses came
And now there's nothing for me here
I put the pieces together
I keep moving, I keep changing
I close the distance between us
I keep moving, I keep shaking
Moving, changing
Moving, shaking, moving...
I put the pieces together
I keep moving, I keep changing
Let there be no mistaken
The future was written in blood.

Black Dress

Black Dress
Once you were a girl with apples in your skirt
Till a stranger came like a storm he tore you away
Our little town awash in shame over you
Once you were a girl standing barefoot on a hill
But the ones you loved lured you straight out of Sunday School
Never felt the weather turn. You moved on
Oh wear your black dress once more
Wear your black dress once more
If you wear your black dress....You’ll come home
Through acres of cornfields I searched but I never found you
And you did what you did no matter who was watching from beyond
You made your bed and I made mine miles apart
Oh wear your black dress once more
Wear your black dress once more
Wear your black dress
If I could have my way with you, I’d bring you back to Sunday School
If I could have my way with you, Id bring you back to Sunday School
To wear your black dress

New Place to Run
I was running as a child
You were running alongside
Head to head to the line
Running alongside
We were racing against time
Became ships in the night
The darkness and the light
Racing against time
Have you found a new place to run?
Or someone else to make up for the loss?
Have you found a new place to run ?
I saw you on a train
I waved to you in vain
Pretending I’m not me
Or pretending not to see me
Have you found a new place to run?
Or someone else to make up for the loss?
Have you found a new place to run?
I was running in my mind
You were running alongside
Back along the tracks of time
Racing through my life
Have you found a new place to run?
Or someone else to make up for the loss?
Have you found a new place to run?

Oh Anna

Oh Anna
Black out at night
Quiet as a mouse
Trying to keep yourself from harm
Back at the trailer
Heart big as a house
Sweet little girl before the poison kicked in
Oh Anna did you feel the pain
When the sane came through your window
Did you think you’d ever see it again?
Hands on hips
Shoes too big
The kind you’d like to grow into
Dreaming of Hollywood
Sunbathing
By the pool
Oh Anna did you feel the pain
When the sun burst through your window
Did you think you’d ever see it again?
Ohoh Ohoh
Oh Anna all you got was shame
And now the sun sets at your window
Do you think you’ll ever see it again?
Oh Anna did you feel the pain
And now the sun sets at your window
Do you think you’ll ever see it again?
Dreaming of leaving
Dreaming of leaving

Lighthouse

The Lighthouse
Our ancestors knew
And the alchemists knew
Always hang on to hope
Holding out for the gold
I see fire at the border through visions of hope
Fire at the border, I’m longing for home
In the dark, searching for the lighthouse
In the dark, searching for the lighthouse
Always looking for something to lead us home
A struggle for life
A struggle for more
I takes more than just Faith
To bring us back from the grave
I see fire at the border through visions of hope
Fire at the border, I’m longing for home
In the dark, searching for the lighthouse
In the dark, searching for the lighthouse
Always looking for something to lead us home
Fire at the border
Fire at the border
I see fire at the border through visions of hope
Fire at the border
I’m longing for home

Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead
I lay a place at the table
But the man don’t come
I hang my light on the gable
But the man don’t come
Can you hear my joy calling?
On this Day of the Dead
One day the longing
Will connect us again
Oh, how time arrested us so quickly
Thin is the veil that divides our two worlds
Now I watch all the people
And I count all the heads
With every one in a million
I hold my breath
Oh, how time arrested us so quickly
Thin is the veil that divides our two worlds
I lay a place at the table and wait
I take my place at the window and wait
And wait
And wait

Philomena O’Grady
I watch from the shadows
While many a man’s port of call
Is standing by the window
The frozen pane, her fingertips
Philomena O’Grady
One day, maybe
Philomena O’Grady
I can’t help from thinking
How and why you’ve forsaken me
Your daddy is calling
To remove your angel wings
Philomena O’Grady
One day, maybe
Philomena O’Grady
And I thought we had a deal
One day, I’ll set you free (I’ll set you free)
For real
Oh, have you forgotten
Our secret little hiding place?
I imagine your mouth and
My hands around your pretty throat
Philomena O’Grady
One day, maybe
Philomena O’Grady

Going Under
This Golden Age is mine
Big Man come, bring the tide
I’ll will the sky
I’ll will the storm
You’re going under (herher)
You’re going under
Take me to my girl, my place
Through dust, through sand, my race
I predict
I’ll burn with rage
You’re going under (herher)
You’re going under
I’m taking back what’s mine
Even through closed eyes
I can see
I can see
That you’re going under (herher)
You’re going under

Knoxville Song
There is a house in Knoxville
It has seen many things
A tender man’s heart
And a bullet with wings
That little house in Knoxville has seen everything
Fierce and bright the day came
A town in fear
Don’t let the sun burn to close to your skin
Don’t let the storm catch a hold
Upon a house in Knoxville
A man with wings
And love long gone
A dual done
That little house in Knoxville has seen everything

Borrowed Land
Everything I wanted was never mine to keep
Your dirty little pillows, the ones on which I sleep
Back along the dreamscape
The cornfield rising high
I run my hand along it
The air is sweet and dry
Back to the Borrowed Land
Back to my right hand man
I’m waiting to be taken there
Some nomadic purpose
Always on the roam
The people in your heart and the mouths you’ve dared to kiss
I leave it all behind now
Our shrinking city sinks
Back along the hillside
To another land
Back to the Borrowed land
Back to my right hand man
I’m waiting to be taken there
Follow me down
Follow me down
Follow me down
Follow me down
Woho
