Push It lyrics - Delta Spirit
The kindness of man decayed,
the forces of darkness played.
The last thing I heard her say,
"Keep pushing it down,
keep pushing it down on me."
The roar on Decatur grew,
and rushed up the avenue.
What can this city do?
Keep pushing it down.
Keep pushing it down on me.
Average America,
that's just the way it is.
Losing her interest.
Keep pushing it down.
Keep pushing it down on me...
From Now On lyrics - Delta Spirit
Down in Reseda where I left my keys.
You picked them up and stepped right in.
I had a vision about this very thing.
But it's probably in my head.
From now on, from now on,
from now on I'm gonna be your friend.
Your inner compass says you know I'm right.
No more letters, just a will.
All the prophets on the mountaintop.
But no one's hanging on the hill.
From now on, from now on,
from now on I'm gonna be your friend.
Something put you in my way,
may the moment awake in your head.
Fall in to the what is.
Let your body do all the rest.
May a love never break you.
May a love never break you.
Keep your heart on your sleeve now
don't let anyone else tell you different.
From now on, from now on,
from now on I'm gonna be your friend.
Live On lyrics - Delta Spirit
When Miguel hit the ground,
I threw the padlock in the trash.
Finally found out,
just how much it takes.
For one whole year he spent,
making me turn red.
Forget the light ahead,
forget the light ahead.
Did I come to meet
the felon in my head?
He's been stretching me,
right up on the racks.
For years it's been the same,
ignoring all the facts.
Forget the light ahead,
forget the light ahead.
It'll all live on....
Hiding from the moon,
under a live oak tree.
How could I forgive
what you said to me?
Sure as the sun will rise,
you pay the penance in your bed.
Forget the light ahead,
forget the light ahead.
It'll all live on...
We gotta leave at three,
take the highway round the bend.
Holding on to memories,
never let a good night end.
But as the morning came,
I can't remember what I said.
Forget the light ahead,
forget the light ahead.
It'll all live on...
Take Shelter lyrics - Delta Spirit
Take shelter, take cover.
The lightning and thunder.
When the skies light up
and the ground shudders.
We'll be there, with each other.
Take shelter, take refuge,
with the people who love you.
All of my friends and lovers,
will be there with each other.
Hold your head up to the light,
wait till it's over now.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
wait till it's over now.
Everything will be alright,
wait till it's over now,
wait till it's over now.
Now I'm so much older.
And I've been knocked down
over and over again.
I've waited, but nothing only ever comes.
Nothing only ever comes,
over and over and over.
Hold your head up to the light,
wait till it's over now.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
wait till it's over now.
Everything will be alright,
wait till it's over now,
wait till it's over now.
Yeah we wait till it's over,
all the weight brings you to your knees.
Yeah we hide under covers,
live our lives through the TV screen.
Yeah we're lost and we can't be found,
we're lost and we can't be found.
Hold your head up to the light,
wait till it's over now.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
wait till it's over now.
Everything will be alright,
wait till it's over now,
wait till it's over now…
Hold My End Up lyrics - Delta Spirit
The sun fell, another night began.
Shots rang out, all the people ran.
Confident in our innocence.
Promises out in the wilderness.
I know, I said, I would,
I know, I said, I would.
The martyred sons of a forgotten fit.
Bend a knee for your favorite.
So foolish in their innocence.
Promises out in the wilderness.
I know, I said, I would,
I know, I said, I would.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end.
It's not too late to turn your back on them.
What kind of friend would lead you to your death?
Don't be foolish in your innocence.
Break the promise in the wilderness.
I know, you said, you would,
I know, you said, you would,
I know
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end.
I know, you said, you would,
I know, you said, you would...
Into The Wide lyrics - Delta Spirit
At the end of the last road in town.
At the edge of that wall of trees.
Further in, past any trail or sign.
Back to the wide open arms of the Earth.
The wind whispered no name,
but it’s voice cracked off the cliff.
Almost see it rush right through you.
Back to the wide open arms of the Earth.
It’s a grind, the business role.
Every new year, a new bell to toll.
Before it’s too late, I’m gonna save my soul.
Back to the wide open arms of the Earth.
Language Of The Dead lyrics - Delta Spirit
Take this lightning off of me,
too wonderful for me to keep.
All the stories of ancient greece.
Agamemnon, great Ulysses.
Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead.
Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said.
Well I'm not so self assured,
I can barely sing a word.
Fads of the 60's and the 19th century.
Leo Tolstoy and Robert E. Lee.
We got a war on in our duplicity,
suburban white blasphemy.
Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead.
Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said.
Well I'm not so self assured,
I can barely sing a word.
You can skim through every book they read,
you can dress a little smarter and claim your hit.
But the weight you've been seeking, you lifted it.
Plagiarize the twenties you never lived.
Take this lightning off of me,
too wonderful for me to keep.
Throw your idols into the sea.
Dreamers, get your own dream.
Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead.
Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said.
Well I'm not so self assured,
I can barely sing a word.
Well I'm not so self assured.
But I don't need to lift a word.
For My Enemy lyrics - Delta Spirit
As we all marched ahead,
in the early hours it began.
Letter in my pocket still unread.
The fire lit, the sky went red,
as we drew near the smell of death.
Treading through the heavy silence left.
I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred.
I was wrong.
Torn up, reborn the way they made me.
It's not long now.
I tried in vain to look away,
from the tragic sight of what remained.
Wiped off the atlas, our birth place.
Those of us who still survived,
took to the hills before they came.
Me, my knife, and my rifle sat in wait.
I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred.
I was wrong.
Torn up, reborn the way they made me.
It's not long now.
My love letter folded out.
My last chance I did it now.
I began to hear her read aloud,
"Don't you fill your heart with hate,
no matter what this world will take,
our love must not be disgraced."
I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred.
You were right.
Torn up, reborn the way they made me.
It's not long now, it's not long now.
Patriarch lyrics - Delta Spirit
As the chill finally hit your skin.
Your accomplice turned you in.
Juliet you had your reasons,
migraine hallucinations.
Had no way to define,
the start and the stop of your Freudian mind.
I believed you when you said God told you what to do.
But the God inside your head was wrong.
Fell in to a passionate clique.
Only way to truth is isolation.
Patriarch, patriarch tell me what to do.
Patriarch, I must follow through.
Oh, the light.
Shaking on the floor.
Speaking tongues of angels.
Surely I must be in the right.
Oh, this tempest loves to fight.
Blood bath on the John Muir trail.
And the hiker recalled the tail.
Juliet and her friend stood at the edge.
Juliet jumped without restraint.
Her friend fell back, lost faith.
Without a God to blame.
War Machine lyrics - Delta Spirit
War machine you can't break me,
you can't have the world I love.
I lied like the government,
pretended that pain don't exist.
They stare down the barrel of a gun.
War machine you can't break me,
you can't have the world I love.
I was so occupied, compassion I had declined.
The first world, it always gets it's way.
War machine you can't break me,
you can't have the world I love.
Watching the clock just tick,
blockhead rhetoric.
The life you've known is surely gone.
They watched as their children fell,
stories that dead men tell.
The frontless battle rages on.
War machine you can't break me,
you can't have the world I love.
War machine you can't break me,
you can't have the world I love,
you can't have the world I love,
you can't have the world I love.
The Wreck lyrics - Delta Spirit
Too much talk bout myself,
drags me straight down to hell.
Finally hearing from you,
pulls me back off the rail.
You don't expect apologies.
You always see the best in me.
I'm the lucky fool that you married.
It always starts out as friends,
you always had my respect.
They all warned you bout me,
don't give your heart to a wreck.
You don't expect apologies.
You always see the best in me.
I'm the lucky fool that you married.
And when we're out on the run.
Drive into the setting sun.
My heart beats for only you,
my heart beats for only you...
The Wolf lyrics - Delta Spirit
The enemy from within,
thought he was your friend.
Talk is cheap, the words between you and me,
are somehow thought to be so meaningless.
I was born to be the wolf,
but I'm living like I'm hung on a leash.
You got a reason to fear,
they got me locked up in here,
I count the seconds until I'm released.
I didn't know, how low.
I didn't know, how low that this could go.
Some try the natural way,
to labor past the fear of their death.
It makes me disturbed to be part of the herd,
when there's no point to be like the rest.
I was born to be the wolf,
but I'm living in the year of the sheep.
Let me take off this suit and may I tell you the truth,
before the shepherd comes around for me.
I didn't know, how low. I didn't know,
how low that this could go.
I broke the record on my visit to the local ER.
I caught the corner of the curb
as I was headed out of the bar.
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, come on.
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free,
I'll allow you two chances,
so you can come on home to me.
Used to be every Sunday,
I black out till monday
after you took the long way.
You took the long way.
Used to be every Sunday,
I black out till monday
after you took the long way.
You took the long way, well I'm here.
