Ballad of Bones

It’s a story of bones
The man said
From the cradle to the grave
And the stories of the saved, he said.
It’s carried down the river on song
You’re not the only one
It’s a story of blood and sweat and tears
She said
A case of holding up an army
Against the million voices raging in your head
And it’s carried down the river on song
You’re not the only one
Ballad of Bones
Are you not alone?
Don’t let inertia win, keep moving
Keep moving
It’s a story of light
He said
Blazing eyes and rousing voice
Carrying these bones made of lead
And it’s carried down the river on song
You’re not the only one
It’s a case of time
She said
Not enough in all your life to free the day
And find a way
It’s carried down the river on song
You’re not the only one
Ballad of bones
Are you not alone?
Don’t let inertia win, keep moving
Keep moving
Rage, rage, rage, rage against the dying of the light!

The hour is darkest before the dawn
The world is the oldest when the black eyed dog it calls around
So take my hand thorough the sinking sand
And pull us out when our philosophy hits the ground
Sinking sand, take my hand
Through the sinking sand
There someday we’ll find our way
To the other world
How does it feel like to be dead inside?
How does it feel to have your world denied?
So all that you are, give it away
Cause you’re nothing like that anyway
So ego and self, falling away
Cause it’s the dawn again today.
Sinking sand, take my hand
Through the sinking sand
There someday we’ll find our way
Sinking sand, take my hand
Through the sinking sand
There someday we’ll find our way
To the other world

Always giving the Crucifix Kiss
Just say the word and you’ll catch me from my fall
I deserve it from you now and always
As much as all the times before
Keep your eyes open in perfect perspective
I’ll save you
I’ll let you down
You’ll let me down
I’ll let you down
You’ll let me down
How can we see behind each other’s faces
When we’ve already all lost our graces now?

You look on me, you’re too blind to see
The shape of your insecurity
Taking cover in your scapegoat
You should know by now
What comes around goes around
Still tripping over the same old hits of power
What have we found?
Still a world of fear
What will it take this passive victim to show you?
You’re getting nowhere in the end
With this animosity you’re giving me
You should know by now
What comes around goes around
Still tripping over the same old hits of power
What have we found?
Still a world of fear
