Burning Jacob's Ladder

Dreams stripped down beyond firelight

I would go over but my only coat's off white

And seeing things unreal

God knows what that stain

And what comes crawling back again

Tears are harbored

Down to the thorny altar

I'm afraid I might fade away

It's to the blood we sing and burn

Thousand blackbirds on a string return

There's a solitary sun too high

Gone without the chosen one, goodbye

The ashes scatter

Burning Jacob's ladder

I'm afraid I might fade away

It's to the blood we sing and burn

Thousand blackbirds on a string return

There's a solitary sun too high

Gone without the chosen one, goodbye

It's to the blood we sing and burn

Thousand blackbirds on a string return

There's a solitary sun too high

Gone without the chosen one, goodbye

Rage untethered

The soul a stony desert

I'm afraid I might fade away

Dreams stripped down beyond firelight

I would go over but my only coat's off white

And seeing things unreal

God knows what that stain

And what comes crawling back again

The ashes scatter

Burning Jacob's ladder

I'm afraid I might fade away
