Lyrics:

'Twas in another lifetime
One of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue
And the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness
A creature void of form
'Come in' - she says, 'I'll give you
Shelter from the storm'

Not a word was spoken between us
There was little risk involved
Everything up to that point
Had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place
Where it's always safe and warm
'Come in' - she says, 'I'll give you
Shelter from the storm'

The deputy walks on hard nails
And the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much
It's the doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker
He blows a futile horn
'Come in' - she says, 'I'll give you
Shelter from the storm'
'Come in' - she says, 'I'll give you
Shelter from, shelter from the storm'

'Twas in another lifetime
One of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue
And the road was full of mud
Shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoken between us
There was little risk involved
Everything up to that point
Had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place
Where it's always safe and warm
'Come in' - she says, 'I'll give you
Shelter from the storm'
