Bio

Lyrics

Verse 1
Standing in the rain
I’m never gonna be warm again
Its leaking in my shoes
I think I know the Blues

Standing in the cold
My bones feel very old
My nights are long as day
It all feels very grey

Verse 2
Praying for heavens sake
they wont make that mistake
I just want safe passage in
I just want to come home again

They tried to overthrow your throne
we know we got it wrong
We lost, we payed our dues
I think I know the blues

Solo 1
Why did you battle me
why did you fight
wasn’t it enough
to live in the light

Your stories of love
Built a silent rage
at the end of time
Even heavens a cage

I am the Allgiver
You live by my blade
dance in the heavens
or live in the shade

I am the Allseer
my kingdom is higher
If you choose the Deciever
live in brimstone and fire

Verse 3
I’ll tell you my story of sin
the death of my kin
I drink to block the light
lonely day, lonely night

I confess to all my lies
The Morningstar arrives
The fallacy to choose
I think I know the blues

Solo 2
