lyrics

We marched on down to the river. Our white robes red with sin. We marched with old ghosts up the mountain pass, at the peak hearts heavy we saw no trees.

Last steps to the gallows, sinkin like a stone. Ain't got no light in them eyes anymore. Your days are numbered by the blood on your hands. Last steps to the gallows.

Don't forget what your mother said, when the skies open up and the seas turn red. Don't forget what to pray before bed so the devil don't crawl inside your head. If your heart is heavy as stone you will be swallowed by the fire when the sun comes home.

We built our houses on the sand. Our cities slipped and crumbled into the sea. We danced with the dead by the orange moon light. At the peaks hearts heavy we saw no trees.

Last steps to the gallows, sinkin like a stone. Ain't got no light in them eyes anymore. Your days are numbered by the blood on your hands. Last steps to the gallows.

Don't forget what your mother said, when the skies open up and the seas turn red. Don't forget what to pray before bed so the devil don't crawl inside your head. If your heart is heavy as stone you will be swallowed by the fire when the sun comes home.

Now you're sinking like a stone. Sinking like a stone at the gallows.
Were you born a wicked man. We're you born a wicked man or was your daddy to blame.
Now your swingin in the wind. Swingin in the wind at the gallows.

Last steps to the gallows, sinkin like a stone. Ain't got no light in them eyes anymore. Your days are numbered by the blood on your hands. Last steps to the gallows.

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip

this album truly feels like a journey. there is a strong atmosphere of transience and solidarity, a feeling of constant change. if you commit yourself to listening through, you will come out a different person. crowskult
