Waiting for the answer
answers never come
Answers are born
in a town I’m not from
Waiting for the shoe to drop
Waiting for the bell to stop
She holds the key
But the lock is unfound
Boxes unopened
Buried underground
Waiting for the shoe to drop
Waiting for the bell to stop
Standing on one leg
on common ground
If I fall over
Will you follow me down?
Waiting for the bell to stop
Waiting for the shoe to drop
Waiting for the bell to stop

Blood Riders
02:22
|

|
When the night is calm
And the moon is still
Blood riders
coming up the hill
They got the numbers
Lord knows they got the will
Blood riders
Coming up the hill
And you better pray your house is strong
When they come riding
And it won’t be long
Gonna be a lot of graves for the digger to fill
When blood riders come up the hill
The Johnson company wants this land
But the folks that live here
Just don’t understand
They don’t want to sell
But he’s still gonna buy
With a Johnson coin
for every one of their eyes
It’s been the same old story
since Abel was felled
The weak gonna die
The strong gonna kill
Someday there’ll be a judgement
that’ll sort that ill
But ‘till then blood riders
coming up the hill

Will be a cold day in hell
when everything goes well
Will be a cold day in hell
When everything goes well
Been a long time in the spell
Carry me away in the swell
Been a long time in the spell
Carry me away in the swell
Nothing ever falls where you thought in your mind
But it works out fine
Nothing ever falls where you thought in your mind
But it works out fine
It works out fine

Lost Horizon
04:42

We came down from the hills with abandon
Knowing not what we would find
Seeking a life in the sun drenched canyon
And our faith in mankind
When you’ve lost it all
Either walk or crawl
We walked on ‘til we lost the horizon
Who knows where came the will for survival
When our wells had all run dry
We pressed on through the winter’s revival
When spring’s hope seems to die.
When you’ve lost it all
Either walk or crawl
We walked on ‘til we lost the horizon

The Day Llewelyn Died
05:20
|
|||
|
The church still stands in disrepair
As a sad reminder of what happened there
And every stone that falls to the ground
Is for another soul buried in that town
Going down to the riverside
On a gin soaked night
When the river will try
To bring me back to the day Llewelyn died
He held his followers in the palm of his hand
Wielding love and hate at his command
‘Til one day he heard a voice so clear
“Convince them all the end was near”
Going down to the riverside
On a gin soaked night
When the river will try
To bring me back to the day Llewellyn died
The day Llewelyn died
It was a bitter pill
They took with the punch
I was never one to follow
Put my suitcase in the trunk
Hit the road at midnight
Sunrise in the sky
Burning from the temple
On the day Llewelyn died
Going down to the riverside
On a gin soaked night
When the river will try
To bring me back to the day Llewelyn died
