WINGS OF LIBERTY LYRICS SKIN

The new born fire stood before the starry king!ĩ. On those infinite mountains of light, now barr'd out by the Atlantic sea, In her trembling hands she took the new born terror, howling Ĩ. Cast thy keys, O Rome, into the deep falling, even to eternity down falling,Ħ. Golden Spain burst the barriers of old Rome ĥ. Shadows of prophecy shiver along by the lakes and the riversĪnd mutter across the ocean: France, rend down thy dungeon Ĥ. Albion's coast is sick silent the American meadows faint!ģ. The eternal female groan'd! It was heard all over the earth.Ģ. I got robbed by a federal policeman / down in southern Mexico / He thought I was drunk but I was just on a mescaline roll / Now if you can’t find the truth / that I buried deep in this song / you can go down to the river just to prove me wrong.1. I bought some $10 boots in Houston / from a speed freak named Suzanne / She was jumpin’ up into the chimney / coming back down in the frying pan / I said, baby, maybe you should lay off / that tin foil and the match / and clean up all that garbage you got laying out ‘round back / I’m going down / East Colfax for a bag and some gin / I’m going down just to see what kinda shape I’m in

I struck outta luck in Washington, with a gun against my throat / I said maybe she’s a poet / but it’s all murder that she wrote / She left me with a five dollar bill / and a rabbit skin overcoat / I’m going down in the pines / in the pines / gonna let it shine on down, gonna let it shine / I got roughed up by them mustangs / down in Memphis, Tennessee / where the river runs dry and the women all livin’ offa Ox圜ontin dreams / I said maybe, baby, it’s just me / but there’s a prowler down by the stream / I’m going down to the river just to wash myself clean / I’m going down on the banks of Galilee / It’s been a long time / digging in the soul mine looking in the dark for something that shines / All I found was coal / All I felt was shame / when I heard that devil calling my name. I lost my name at the center of the earth / I swallowed my pain until I proved my worth / Then it was gone /įind the truth / it shines right through carbon / I started out digging for diamonds and gold now I’m digging through the long dark night of the soul to see dawn / Though light be lost and lines be crossed / stay strong /

(Chorus) Hold on tight son / ’til that coal turns to diamonds / Life springs from deep wells / Faith is born in the forge of Hell / Forge on / Then I found a vein of gold and a vein of blood / I made a vein cry for a vein of love / Something died inside, now I feel better / I bled ’til I shed that scarlet letter / It’s been a long time / digging in the soul mine looking in the dark for something that shines / All I found was coal / All I felt was shame / when I heard that devil calling my name / I cried, “Lord, Lord, don’t you hear me praying, Lord? Can’t you see I need you, Lord? Don’t you see me down here?” All along that day…īut the Lord cried out, ‘Where were you when you ought to be praying? Where were you, Sinnerman, all along that day?’ I cried, “Power! Power! Power! Bring down power!” I cried, “Help me, Lord! Please hide me, Lord! Won’t you hide me?” All along that day…īut the Lord cried out, ‘Go see the Devil!’ The Lord cried, ‘Go to the Devil!’ The Lord cried, ‘Go to the Devil, Sinnerman!’ All along that day… Won’t you hide me?” All along that day…īut the rock cried out, ‘I won’t hide you.’ The rock cried, ‘Ain’t gonna hide you.’ The rock cried, ‘I won’t hide you.’ All along that day… I cried, “Help me, rock! Please hide me, rock. Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? All along that day…
