Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
Feel their blood flow away
Send its soul its way."

Losing all the feeling now that sunrise is outlawed."

Storms touching down again
Devil's hiding in the house
Angel's in the rain."

Recalled how close to that exit l've been."

To the 7 lost cities of gold
Finds a raven's head and rattlersnake's tail
Dead in his tracks, this godforsaken soul's
Unwanted here and his soul lingers for years."

Through a glass wall
All that is you stays with you
All that is me stays with me."

Go to sleepy little baby."

Slow your breath
Dream of northern lights
Around this dance of death."

You never decide
Never think of what we could do
I don't know why you're still here."

Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning."

"Beneath the neon hub of downtown
The local hotel ghosts blow back around
Descend on those drugstore cowboy nights
Cling to the bar, then disappear from sight."
