Back to the Races

I cannot face the past,

Id rather face the dark.

Dont know what to say,

Dont know where you are.

Is love too strong a god?

How long do we have to go?

Ever tempted by

How far wed have to fall

To feel that way again.

I come back for the farm.

I would have met you there,

But I got terribly lost.

You waited there so long;

Finally you walked off.

And I just passed the road;

The road I should have turned on.

On your mark

You have my word

That Ill return

If you dont look back,

And off well go.

As it was on earth,

So shall it be sold.

So shall it be.

I was in the shed

Waiting for the ram to sleep.

I just combed my hair

So that maybe youd like me.

And everything to all,

And all that fades away.

But I can see you on

Yeah, I can see you on

On your mark

You have my word

That Ill return

If you dont look back.

And off well go.

As It was on earth,

So shall it be sold.

So shall it be sold.

Lights blown out

All our bags

Sold our capes

To make it dark

Beat the sword

Into the plow

Take my place

Take it now

And go back to the races,

And on with the day.

Back where the sacred are.

Back to the races,

And off with their heads

Let the kings horses fall.

Run! The fall might arrive

One minute please ma

Before we go inside

Its not dark to me,

No its not dark at all.

And all the confederate kings

Are waiting in the hall.

On your mark

You have my word

That Ill return

If you dont look back

And off well go

As it was on earth

So shall it be sold,

So shall it be sold.

And go back to the races,

And on with the day.

Back where the sacred are.

Back to the races,

And off with their heads

Let the kings horses fall.

Back to the races,

And on with the day.

Back where the sacred are.

Back to the races,

And off with their heads

Let the kings horses fall.

Back to the races,

And on with the day.

Back where the sacred are.

Back to the races,

And off with their heads

Let the kings horses fall.

One more time around,

One more race to go.

Send my name to the owls

Will I see you far below?

Please dont turn around

Cause theyll take me back away

And I can feel the moon

Dragging me towards the race.
