lyrics

I’m going to walk right out of this mountain
Out of this mountain around the bend
I’m going walk right up to that door
I’m going to shed my miner’s boots and enter

Left my wife sleeping in feathers
Sleeping in feathers all alone
Left my baby sleeping in the wings
Sleeping the wings of Abaddon

I’m going to stand right up to the ceiling
Up to that ceiling of cold, cold stone
Up through the tunnel of the belly of the mountain
And out into the day the day I’ll go

Glass of whiskey sitting on the table
Savior’s blood a glass of wine
Three dark seeds don’t grow by water
Only by the tears you cry

Out on the river fish are jumping
Bears are dancing on the backs of mice
Pillars of the temple cutting up the heavens
Sparrows carrying angels’ knives

Laying here I dreamed I was a baby
Sleeping in a crib in the in the house of the Fair
Woke right up with my brothers and my sisters
Ready to sup with my familiars

Bells ring but what comes after
What comes after only one knows
Grab his hem, follow his lantern
Walk behind the Prince of Echoes
