The Watcher

Rust - decaying in our shells

We face the night as servants

A feast unto the wheels of gods and devils

Dust - the tolling of the bell

The horseman rides the sunset into the ancient realm

Debt of the flesh, angels shall we rise

Muddy banks, river flow, into the depths we sink

Bourbon spills, amber stream, the levees on the brink

Waters rise, fill the plains, across the valleys face

A disease? Our release, we'll throw it all away

Into the mouth of the watcher, we'll be immortalized

Until the sea fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide

From the hills, where the stills still churn and hide away

With the white in our eyes we'll burn the night away

Change the hue of the moon 'til blackness floats the stream

When the night turns to day we'll sleep our peasants dream

Within the mind of the watcher, we'll be immortalized

Until the scene fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide

Into the ocean of chaos that hides beyond the skies

We scream the names of the ages and watch the dead alive

And see through demons eyes and soar on angels wings

We sleep so death can breathe and dream the devils dream

Come back home...

Hit the bottle and pass it along

I hear the black man singing our song

Hooves pound thunder, the crack of a whip

I feel the fury, he's coming up quick

Taste of a vulture, he smells the decay

And with the liquor the life drains away

When death relieves us our fires shall rain

Into the wind we just throw it away

Into the mouth of the watcher, we'll be immortalized

Until the sea fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide

Into the mouth of the watcher, we'll be immortalized

Until the sea fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide
