Burning Jacob's Ladder - Mark Lanegan Band

Dreams stripped down beyond firelight

i would go over but my only coat’s soft white

and seeing things unreal

god knows what that stain

and what comes crawling back again

Tears a harbor

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

Rage untethered

the soul a stony desert

i’m afraid i might fade away
