Burlap To Cashmere - Build a Wall lyrics

She was driving through the night through that fortune road of fame She was looking for the man just to powder up the pain And the power of the Sun never caught her weary sand She was looking for the man with the gun in the hat Drinking whiskey in the rain and the bible in his hand Shake the light Drown the sun Close the shades Lock the door Burn the pages of your life As your body hits the floor And as you weep you can hear it There's an echo of a call And through the violent bloody night Nehemiah builds the wall I was living off the land trying to get the job done I was looking for the souls that were burning in the sun She was burning up the crowd and was landing on time I said crooked is the man who reveals in a verse There a prophet of the land When there's poison in your mind Shake the light Drown the sun Close the shades Lock the door Burn the pages of your life As your body hits the floor And as you weep you can hear it There's an echo of a call And through the violent Bloody night Nehemiah builds a wall Yesterday's gone Tomorrow an illusion Infinity I am fire, I am gold I am river, I am sea I'm eternally the sound That is screaming to be free Shake the light Drown the sun Close the shades Lock the door Burn the pages of your life As your body hits the floor And as you weep you can hear it There's an echo of a call And through the violent bloody night Nehemiah builds the wall
