Lyrics Mark Lanegan – Burning Jacob’s Ladder
Text:
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat’s off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stain
Tears are harbored
Down to the thorny altar
I’m afraid I might fade away
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob’s ladder
I’m afraid I might fade away
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Rage untethered
The soul a stony desert
I’m afraid I might fade away
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat’s off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stain
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob’s ladder
I’m afraid I might fade away
