Twist, shout a chant


All the desperate dudes

Twist, shout a chant

2. The Appalachians


Tread the pathway, taking a cane

Fear the forest, lining in chains

Trek the steep way, bearing pain

Face the mountain, clothing stained


When they're so bound to God's country

Leave them, shed the burden off

When they're so obsessed by God's words

Leave them, abandon their home


They'll hide, they'll live

They'll hide, they'll live


Tread the pathway, taking strain

Face the mountain, fleeing the reign


When they're so bound to God's country

Leave them, shed the burden off

When they're so obsessed by God's words

Leave them, abandon their home


They'll hide, they'll live

They'll hide, they'll live

3. Jackal


Cold winds blow through the wilderness

You stand wearing a cape alone

Dead spirits fly through the fields

You dream with eyes wide shut 


Take a ladder, you'll see the riders

Hear the gallop


New moon gleams on the plain 

You wait for the time to be taken up

Is there something I should say?

You search for words


Take a ladder, you'll see the riders

Hear the gallop


In the dark, in the dark…


Take a ladder, you'll see the riders

Hear the gallop, you'll see the riders

Take a ladder, you'll see the riders

Hear the gallop


Cold winds blow through the wilderness

You stand wearing a cape alone

Dead spirits fly through the fields

You dream, eyes wide shut

4. Sheltering Snow


In the sheltering snow

Every sign was faded before we knew it 

In the falling flakes

Every sound was muffled before we knew it


Deserted and wrecked

We met in such a place


In the sheltering snow

All the life was vanished before we knew it

In the falling flakes

All the blood was frozen before we knew it


Deserted and wrecked

We came to such a place


Oh lord

Oh lord


In the sheltering snow

Every sign was faded before we knew it

In the falling flakes

Every sound was muffled

5. Stranger Blues


Walked through the city

With my thirsting heart

Met so many people

But I knew I was stuck


When I found a flower by my side and picked it

I got the feeling it was time to go


Tried some new tastes

With my lusting soul

Heard unknown tunes

But I knew I wasn't fulfilled


When I found a flower by my side and picked it

I got the feeling it was time to leave


A flower I found

A flower I found


There must be a way that leads me

There must be a way that leads me

There must be a way that leads me

There must be a way that leads me


A flower I found

A flower I found


There must be a way that leads me

There must be a way that leads me

There must be a way that leads me

There must be a way that leads me…

6. Stay in the Light


Stay in the light, stay in the night

I sent a prayer you'll be a priest 

Stay in the light


I was a daughter of the king nobody knows

Someone did, someone tried to hear the shade of your words


I was a daughter of the king nameless shepherd

Someone did, someone tried to hear the shade of your words


Stay in the light, stay in the night

I sent a prayer to find your peace

Stay in the light


I was a daughter of the king solitude standing

Someone did, someone tried to hear the shade of your words


Now I could live in hope

The way you taught


Stay in the light, stay in the night

I sent a prayer you'll be a priest 

Stay in the light
