I've got a tongue cast in silver but i keep it in it's cave ain't no miner gonna find it diggin deep down in the cold I've got the gold to cast a heart with and that gold i'm gonna save 'til i've made myself a goldsmith and i've found a better mold When I open up my cave, you see my silver shining bright but if it's closed just watch the bronze as it drips down from my eyes i've got that gold bronze and silver dig down deep as you might ain't gonna find it in a mine hole or a mountain, scrapin' skies When I've made myself a gold smith, when i've found a better mold I'll share my wealth with all the land, lay my weapons down to bed I'll keep my silver on my tongue, heart of gold and eyes of bronze but I'll throw my wealth down from its height, and let it land right on your head When it hits it might just kill ya, or maybe just sink in,  but i'll know it when i see ya, as that shine glows from your skin you'll have that gold, bronze and silver, dig down deep as they might ain't gonna find it in a mine hole or a mountain, scrapin skies ain't no miner gonna find it diggin deep down in a hole ain't no miner gonna find it diggin deep down in the cold

So the voters have cast their stones At the wisest and left their bones Ooooo…mama what if reason gets cut loose From where I stand I can Still here their drones All of our fears dressed up in dissonant tones oooo...mama what if i fall out of tune I gather these up and from time to time Speak them to her as we sip our wine She says oooo...darling everybody gets those blues Everybody gets those blues When my motions have reached their top speed And my mind has planted its last seed Oooo…mama what if my best ain't enough When our history strikes its final blow And my future finds no place to go Oooo…mama what if goin' gets too tough - It's through our stories that we're guided higher Through the depths of darkness lit by fire Ooo…mama sing a song to help me through I gather these up and from time to time Speak them to her as we sip our wine She says oooo...darlin everybody gets those blues Everybody gets those blues Mama these any everybody's blues Darlin' everybody gets those blues.

I climbed the tallest mountain the horizon let me see, my intention upon leaving was to find out what I'd be. I'd questions without answers, answers without cause, I knew that there'd be knowledge gained and inhibitions lost. --- I began to ask my questions as I slowly reached the peak, Then I listened for my answers though I still had yet to speak. I heard the trees were whispering, but only to themselves, I heard the wind let out a roar, but it's meaning was withheld. --- Then a gust of wind came passing, and something brushed my cheek, I looked first down to find a feather, then up, an eagle's beak. As it opened I'd my answer, though again it did not speak, but I could see it's eyes and realized the answer I did seek. --- “In your ascent atop this mountain, To the truth you yourself led. And so do lead on, lead on As I have said.” --- So I took the eagle's feather, A memento of my climb To remind me of the life I've led and the one I've left behind, To remind me of the life I've led and the one I've yet to find, To remind me of the life I've led and hte one I've left behind, To remind me of the life I've led and the one I've yet to find.

Keep me warm, when the sun won't shine, I will brave the storm If she keeps me warm, when the sun won't shine, I will brave the storm Cold hearted woman's gonna dance on my grave she's gonna sign me over to the devil in trade for a life long lost at an innocent age There's a chill runnin through me as I reach for her hand then her weight passes to me, findin it hard to stand then I'm fallin to the ground and I don't know where I'll land Keep me warm... I've been soaked and I've been seered by her tears and her flames I've been choked and defeated by her guilt and her shame if she'd cry me a river i could sail away I've seen the ghosts that live inside her, they were starin me down, as i sailed down that river they were prayin i'd drown and i can't help but think that there's a better way --- keep me warm when the sun don't shine, I will brave the storm If she keeps me warm when the sun don't shine, I can brave the storm If she keeps me warm If she keeps me warm

Well I've been walkin this line for a month and a year, And I can not say that I've felt worse. And you just keep crossin right past and then comin back bent And your hands gettin bruised from bangin my door So I say... Keep a knocking but you can't come in It's true. we've come and we've gone and our tenderest song is a roll in the hay But now the love that I'm givin ain't comin back And through our screams and our whispers it's this thats rang true There's a time. There's a time and it's more than near So keep a knockin but you can't come in By now, I've sifted the sand and I've said all I will So tonight. I sleep. Alone. And though I've muffled your cries with the pillow on my frown. I still hear the words 'i love you' seep through my door Tell me you love me but you can't come in Keep a knockin' but you can't come in.

The sun is fallin but the road stands firm And I Never know what's comin round the next turn These feet have taught me everything I've known And These wheels keep turnin over every stone My ma and pa were always good to me But I thought that I had other places to see It ain't like gypsies came and stole me awayf But It's beena while since I'd a place to stay I got a mind [I got a mind] To go back home All these restless nights begin to take their toll And I can feel my wheels begin to slow their roll All this runnin round ain't gonna make me whole Maybe I should stand my ground and finally find my role I got no regrets I'm on a winning streak But a man is not a man but for the life he seeks The road will never end and I know that for fact But maybe I should find a place to leave leave my bags unpacked I got a mind [I got a mind] To go back home I'd walk a mile In almost anyones shoes Yeah, I get around and I have paid my dues They say you judge a man by the company he keeps Well I say don't go judgin til you've heard him speak I got a mind [I got a mind] To go back home

Well I went to the doctor, The doctor said, “What have you been doing to yourself?” I said I'd been away, and that I knew that if I'd stayed, My heart, it would never ever last. He said “It's good you came today, Yeah, your heart is on it's way, But it's not the only thing that's weighing down your health. Your liver's growing mold and your lungs are black as coal and your brain makes you no smarter than an ass.” [Chorus] Cause I've been drinking since I left her, I've been stoned since I left home, Slept on the streets of New York City, Lost it all in New Orleans. Doc, don't you worry about my liver, I can do without my lungs, My brain ain't much to speak of but won't you mend my broken heart Then I went to the banker, the banker said “What have you been doing to yourself? We know you've been away, and that you just could not stay, because you have been running out of cash.” I said “Please Mister Banker, Take pitty on me. The doc says I've got problems with my health. My liver's growing mold, and my heart is growing cold, and my lungs are getting sick from all the hash [Chorus] Then I went and found my wife, First I'd seen her in ten years, She said “What have you done to yourself?” Well, I said I'd been away and that I knew that if I'd stayed, My heart, it could never last without her. She said I'd left her life upended and the only way she'd mended is through the love of her new man and their three kids. Well I knew right then I'd die, although the doctors, they might try, they'd never mend my ever broken heart. [Chorus]

The Right 04:41
Everybody's fighting to be closer to God, Steppin' in the same steps that their forefathers trod. Maybe God can bring you peace, but who brings peace to him, But when the whole world is killin' no one's ever gonna win. Child sleeps, bullets runnin' past his head, Waitin' for the day that one will strike his head. He's thinkin "I'm gonna fight for what my father fought for, And what his father fought for, And what his father fought for. And I'm gonna die for what my daddy died for, And what his daddy died for, And what his daddy died for, And I'm gonna be right!" Ain't no wrong to come from prayin' for a light to see, But shed no blood except to scrape as you get down on your knees. Well I've been sinnin' all my life and that's alright with me, But I ain't ever had a life where I had to kill to believe. Child sleeps, bullets runnin' past his bed, Waitin for the day that one will strike his head Everybody's fighting to be closer to God, Steppin' in the same steps that their forefathers trod. Maybe God can bring you peace, but who brings peace to him, But when the whole world is killin' no one's ever gonna win. Child sleeps, bullets runnin' past his head, Waitin' for the day that one will strike his head. He's thinkin "I'm gonna fight for what my father fought for, And what his father fought for, And what his father fought for. And I'm gonna die for what my daddy died for, And what his daddy died for, And what his daddy died for, And I'm gonna be right!" I'm Gonna Be Right!

Gather 03:42
Viccar, bring your holybook, your prayers are needed up apon the hill There's a devil atop the chapel and he's spitting down his devils work There's a witch within the government and she's castin off her witches spells Weatherman bring your weatherthingsz the sky is brewing nothing good There's a cold wind blowin up up up from the depths of this earth There's a poison comin down comin down comin down from the heavens to this earth - Bring out your dead, torn, and tarnished souls we won't win the war, until our weapons fall There's no defense against the hardened wall of a broken heart, And a shattered spirit. - Shoe maker bring your hammer for our soles are not quite fit to walk this land There's a Slickness to this ground and it'll pull your legs right out from under you There's a fray within this rope and itll drop it all right down on to you Bridge builder come on over there's a crevice growing wider while we wait There's a gathering on the one side sayin come on one and all come and join us There's a crowd on the other sayin "we don't want your kind". - Bring out your dead, torn, and tarnished souls we won't win the war, until our weapons fall There's no defense against the hardened wall of a broken heart, And a shattered spirit. -
