Mark Lanegan - Burning Jacob's Ladder lyrics

Dreams stripped down beyond firelight I would go over but my only coat's off white And seeing things unreal God knows what that stain And what comes crawling back again Tears are harbored 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 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 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 Rage untethered The soul a stony desert I'm afraid I might fade away Dreams stripped down beyond firelight I would go over but my only coat's off white And seeing things unreal God knows what that stain And what comes crawling back again The ashes scatter Burning Jacob's ladder I'm afraid I might fade away
