bad ghost 04:34
lyrics
they sent you out / they sent you out / to FIND IT it came around / it came around / you FOUND IT tried so hard / but it never got you far / when you LOST IT tried to fly / instead you found a way to die / yeah you FOUND IT travelled up the river / saw ghosts in the timbers black smoke rising / a blood moon on the horizon they set you down / in another town / on the blactop i drove around / searching for the sound / of the BAD GHOSTS all these signs / are overwhelming to my eyes / how do i FIND YOU??? meant to be / what i was supposed to be / but i LOST IT... went out to find my way / i got lost before i strayed bad ghosts rising / a shadow on my soul’s horizon seems so sad / a million ways to feel so bad / how do i find you? just can’t be / the way it’s all supposed to be / how do i find you?

desert town 04:22
lyrics

we went down to desert town / following along the path of freedom we went down to desert town / traveling along the tracks of treason we went down to desert town / you know (we knew) in our hearts we had our reasons we saw signs in the stars above / i’ll die to myself in my due season i had no choice / i heard a voice / it was a victory calling the sky was threatening / the mountains shook / the stars were falling we went down to desert town / we thought in the end we’d find our eden we told lies to hear their sounds / had no idea where they were leadin' ******* but i know i can hear the voices calling and i know i can feel the night is falling just a sound on that high desert plain out where the sky ends i can see a wall of rain but i know i can hear that city singing and i know i can feel the bells are ringing

now the day is down / the future’s hiding underground all things shall reconcile / past the mountains, past the miles dreams and lifetimes end / as sorrows flood our vows ascend zodiac signs of life / beyond the wall of rain a white light sleep baby / go crazy sleep baby / go crazy and the wind will follow / our happiness won’t be tomorrow then go down that lighted way / your sylvan road to zion baby beneath a shadow your heart fell / a elbereth gilthoniel! the long night’s end is near / they lie! those voices that you hear: prophets of death and fear / don’t let them confiscate your soul my dear sleep baby / go crazy sleep baby / go crazy and the wind will follow / our happiness might be tomorrow you searched the sky in vain for signs / but somehow still those stars aligned for you sleep baby / go crazy sleep baby / go crazy and who knows what follows / divine light through this vale of sorrows? some kind of bloody recompense / a future age of cosmic vengeance? how can everything be put right? seven stars to light the dark night

afterglow 04:42
lyrics
buy track
I saw a fire burning brightly by the riverside I bummed a smoke / split it in two / and watched the sparks get high I stood there laughing with my friends and looked into those coals Some kind of sadness gaped across the void into my soul I beheld / the afterglow I saw a fire burning brightly by the riverside Christina took me to the place she said her sister died We talked about what we show / We lied about the things we hide It broke my brain to see the light gone from my brother’s eyes I gazed upon / the afterglow "past where they paint the houses / past the place the river bends" can’t see what lies beyond / but i see the sorrows of my friends those fading angels out for a long drive on a dead end road "past where the silo stands" / i’m looking for the lighter load

about

And the old man said to me, "If you'll listen, I'll tell you how to find it...or rather, I will tell you how to find it within yourself. Do you see it, out where the sky ends? You have only to listen to find it. To search upon the open sea for it, that thing which you seek. Someone said it is within you, and this is entirely true, but you are not alone in seeking it out, for that same thing that lies within you lies within everyone else and lies within the center of every star and within the very universe itself. A dwelling we have here, a habitation, a momentary place, but beyond every wall of rain that you see in the distance is the thing less temporary, though you cannot grasp it here and now. You have only to look beyond this place, out there, where the sky ends."
