c.b. carlyle & the desert angels - bleeding westward lyrics

[verse]
another crimson dawn
we slept among the dead like dogs
bloodied, the hungry country stretching on
broken on the rocks
you lay like crooked misfit dolls around us
still and soundless as the hawks
a long and violent yawn
your toothless paper skulls littered in the desert
the tilted shepherds
like rabid leopards
bleeding westward on and on

[pre+chorus]
soon all will be known to you
at last you’re home
back to the land, the sand, the stone

[chorus]
and everyone will remember your life and wonder why you’re gone
then no one will remember your life
remember your life
and on and on and on…

[verse]
the gentle touch of war
the spectre horseman’s howling roar
cursed, a savage thirst begging for more
heavy in my hand
that perfect steel american revolver
sent sons and daughters
blood and water
across the alter’s meridian
[bridge]
eyes closed i can hear the angels singing
the shadow shapes of the dead dancing in the heat
and i’m sorry, the party’s last cry rings out tonight
while i lay with those at my feet

[pre+chorus]
all will be known to you
at last you’re home
back to the land, the sand, the stone

[chorus]
and everyone will remember your life and wonder why you’re gone
then no one will remember your life
remember your life
and on and on and on…
