Rising to the top
Knowing I must fall
Refeathered wings
Salt the stings
To make the crawl
To the top
And then take the fall
Again
Blood soaked
Gagged and choked
Lined face on stone
Stripped bare
Sucking in air
This is my home
It seems
With rock and the hard place stuck between.
The Godman Christ
Cause
Cursed man to the test
And this Goddamned
Cross
Crushed
Into my chest I'm still doing my best!
And so the winter time comes calling
Through the skies
I'm crawling
From cloud nine
I've fallen
And then the foolish times rush in.
It's no longer mine
Life on cloud nine
Place your dreams in a bottle
Smash it to the ground
Slip off your slippers
And dance all around.
It's blood, baby
It's just blood, baby
It's just blood, baby
It's just your
Precious
Blood.
I've come this far and I said I'd go all the way
But these fevered winds sway
Stronger each day.
And I'm fool's gold, and my heart's not right
But I'd still sell what's left in my soul
Just to pay the tithe.
Shot down in the glory of my prime
Only to find the bullets were divine
So don't speak to me of heavens above
'Cos cloud nine is where I've fallen from.
Carry on the wayward son, the way that lovers do.
