Burning Jacob’s Ladder Lyrics
[Intro]
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over, but my only coat's off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stained
And what comes crawling back again
Tears are harbored
Down to the thorny altar
I'm afraid I might fade away
[Verse 1]
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A 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
[Verse 2]
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A thousand blackbirds on a string return
There's a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Here's to the blood we sing and burn
A 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
[Verse 3]
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over, but my only coat's off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stained
And what comes crawling back again
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob's ladder
I'm afraid I might fade away
