lyrics

The ghost of Blake
The hour of the witch
These songs of innocence
Sung as a myth

Experience is all
Experience is king
Experience is truth
With conclusions changing

Look at you now
There’s a rot in your gut
Drown it in whiskey
Then refill your cup

There’s a place for to fall
On a great golden shore
But in order to get there,
They’ll have to hurt you some more

Love found alone
Loose ties to the sky
Waiting for dawn
With dark yearning eyes

If you knew this could be
The day you were born
Would you fall prey to the void
Disappear once more?

The everyman, the common fool, plays by the rules,
Says keep your chin up, dare to dream,
There’s money to be made
Be true to you but when it’s not working out,
Change swiftly, change radically,
Adaption is survival child.

So there’s a drag to your step
A deadness of the mind
Writing songs of deliverance
Sung as a war cry

The ghost of blake
The curse of the witch
The first light of morning
Yet again missed.
