Speak With the Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night the smoke from the bonfire followed me
It is a radio to the gates
I’d rather hear your old voice follow me
But there is nothing to do but wait
[Chorus]
So here I wait
Here I wait
Until I fall asleep
Speak with the dead
Here I wait
Until I fall asleep
Speak with you again
[Verse 2]
Some nights I hold old faith in the rituals
If the left hand path should cross your road
Pray with grimoires or swinging thuribles
Their incense dissipates all the same
[Bridge]
And in my dreams I’m on a porch with you
I promise you I've been doing well in your name
And I won’t try to speak with you again
Until I watch my last breath dissipate
[Chorus]
But when I wake
There I'll wait
Until I fall asleep
Speak with the dead
Here I wait
Until I fall asleep
Speak with you again
Oh, to speak with you again
Wherever I go
There you are
Wherever I go
There you are
There you are
[Outro: Yoni Wolf of WHY?]
Wherever I go, there you are
Where you go, there I am
