Lyrics:

Lost in the equinox lightening flash in a blood red sky

Another game of paradox got the angels choosing sides

Last word of a pistol poem

A faded note on a torn back page

And from the mountain rolls the thunder who has escaped its gilded cage

So be safely on your way and heed the words I say



40 days, boys

40 days

You'll have to leave what you can't carry

40 days, boys

40 days

And I hope that you are ready, well are you ready?



Your words are sad with wisdom and as you speak they float away

In to some mystic vision that holds back this heavy rain

You who have never swam the river

You who have never much as cared

You who now seeks solace will find no comfort here

Fear is never kind

As it creeps into your mind



40 days, boys

40 days

You'll have to leave what you can't carry

40 days, boys

40 days

Well I hope that you are ready

Said, are you ready?



How long must I wait?

How long must I wait?

For the river to run dry, for you to look me in the eye.

How long must I wait?



The savage hooks of midnight, have pierced your milk white skin,

tattooed in gold dust splendor

A jeweled thrown you ascend

So be safely on your way and heed the words I say
