Mysterious, Sometimes Cruel, and always glorious and human.

lyrics

I was pulled out of the water just scrounging for a dime
I found my heart was dripping in arsenic and time.
They found me face down in the dirt, just like a wise bird said
"You'll never see the morning 'til you cover up your head.

For the kingdom she's a coming, just like the Devil's Night
You only got these three more times around, so you better do it right"

I got one eye on the bottle. I got one eye on the grave.
A third one in the ether, but I still can't find my way.
My candle is the lightning. My pen a crooked claw.
My ink is my own holy blood but I don't mind at all

"For the kingdom she's a coming, just like a butcher's knife
You only got these two more times around, so you better do it right"

The Devil he once told me out of his crooked eyes,
That I was born to tell the truth and him for telling lies.
But, his trap it can't hold me, because a secret kept--
I too fell from heaven and I think they're glad I left.

Because when you're in heaven, you never use your mind.
You're too busy being perfect, you forget to be alive.
So, just one dive in the basin, one more swim through Hel.
Out of all my obligations this is one I won't dispel.

"For the kingdom she's a coming, just like a serpent's bite
You only got this one more time around, so you better do it right."
