harpeth rising - seven thunders lyrics

Loading...

you may call me brother but that’s not who i am
i’m doin’ you a favor, someday you’ll understand
to deprive you of knowledge would be such a shame
“believe me,” i told him, “you’ll thank me someday.”

i seen a man yonder all caught up in the muck
a+twistin’ and a+jerkin’ and a+cursin’ his luck
“help me, my brother,” i heard the man cry
“you best help yourself,” i said with a smile

of an age i went a+travelin’ for to see where i’d been
when they saw me comin’, said there’s no room at the inn
wind was in a torment and the hail drillin’ down
and just then the savage lightning bolt did strike me to the ground

the water was a+rushin’, the horses they escaped
i did not believe i ever would be saved
when this fellow come by, seemed just in the nick of time
“you know me, my brother, please help me,” i cried

there’s seven blind alleys with seven dead hens
seven fools laughing with their seven false friends
seven singing sirens, seven stairways that descend
and there’s seven dead souls riding seven lost winds

he said, “do i remember you, on a day like this?
“you taught me such a lesson, i will not soon forget
“what was taken then shall now be returned
“oh, thank you, great master, much have i learned.”
and so he did leave me there, and i was washed away
and i will be remembered as the teacher of this day
and every time a traveler surrenders to the tide
my name will be spoken long after you have died

there’s seven blind alleys with seven dead hens
seven fools laughing with their seven false friends
seven singing sirens, seven stairways that descend
and there’s seven dead souls riding seven lost winds

my brothers and my sisters, hear me, for it is too late
you leave a man lyin’ there, that too shall be your fate
the wheels keep a+turnin’, you must play your part
the last step of the journey will return you to the start

seven candles burning, seven stars shine by day
seven books revealed, seven thunders call the name
seven temples rising ocean, seven lamps that mark the way
seven seals are broken, seven kings ride the reign
