Rust - decaying in our shells We face the night as servants A feast unto the wheels of gods and devils Dust - the tolling of the bell The horseman rides the sunset into the ancient realm Debt of the flesh, angels shall we rise Muddy banks, river flow, into the depths we sink Bourbon spills, amber stream, the levees on the brink Waters rise, fill the plains, across the valleys face A disease? Our release, we'll throw it all away Into the mouth of the watcher, we'll be immortalized Until the sea fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide From the hills, where the stills still churn and hide away With the white in our eyes we'll burn the night away Change the hue of the moon 'til blackness floats the stream When the night turns to day we'll sleep our peasants dream Within the mind of the watcher, we'll be immortalized Until the scene fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide Into the ocean of chaos that hides beyond the skies We scream the names of the ages and watch the dead alive And see through demons eyes and soar on angels wings We sleep so death can breathe and dream the devils dream Come back home... Hit the bottle and pass it along I hear the black man singing our song Hooves pound thunder, the crack of a whip I feel the fury, he's coming up quick Taste of a vulture, he smells the decay And with the liquor the life drains away When death relieves us our fires shall rain Into the wind we just throw it away Into the mouth of the watcher, we'll be immortalized Until the sea fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide Into the mouth of the watcher, we'll be immortalized Until the sea fades to darkness we'll sail a whisky tide
