Альбом Black Country Communion

It's cold on the mountain
Its cold in the wood
My life is a fountain
It's all in my blood

I go down to the river
I'll never sleep till im gone
Its cold on the mountain
I could not leave you alone

I am a messenger
This is my prophecy
Im goin back
To the Black Country

I speak for the million
From city to shire
We come from the heartland
We walk thru the fire

We rise to the measure
The line in the sand
Its cold on the mountain
And this is our land

I am a messenger
This is my prophecy
Im goin back
To the Black Country

You were born in a jetstream
down in south caroline
gotta (got a ?) roll in the big scheme
now you're ready to shine
you're the one last soul you (who) can win it
you're the one last soul if you try
you're the one last soul if you live it
you're the one last soul tell you why
and if you feel what you not? gonna give in (it)
one last soul make me cry
you're the one last soul who can win it?
you're the one last soul if you (who can?) try?
now you burn like a freight train
you're a bird on a wire
see you('re?) driving me insane
and i couldn't get higher
you're the one last soul who can win it
you're the one last soul if you try
you're the one last soul if you live it
you're the one last soul tell you why
and if you feel what you got gonna give it?
one last soul make me cry
you're the one last soul who can win it
you're the one last soul if you try
and when you get what you want don't regret it
one last soul make me cry
you're the one last soul you can win it
you're the one last soul
and if you feel what you got gonna give it?
one last soul make me cry
you're the one last soul
and when you get what you want don't regret it
one last soul make me cry
you're the one last soul you can win it
you're the one last soul

Now you know
Im not a saviour
Let me make it
Understood
And the shirt upon
My back is all i own
I dont wanna be
A loner
So i go against the grain
And i feel the blood
Is rushin through my veins

I cant fake it
And i crucify myself
I have been shot down
By a stone
Im gonna walk
Across the stateline
Gotta take a
Higher road

Im on the great divide
Im sanctified
Be by your side
I hope we dont collide
So let me ride
The great divide
Its beautiful

I dont live in superstition
Gonna let my freak flag fly
Gotta black cat moan
My conscience is
My guide
And i use my inuition
Theres a liar and a thief
And ive been to hell
Before you were my friend

I cant fake it
And i crucify myself
I have been shot down
By a stone
Im gonna walk
Across the stateline
Gotta take a
Higher road

Im on the great divide
Im sanctified
Be by your side
I hope we dont collide
So let me ride
The great divide
Its beautiful

I cant fake it
And i crucify myself
I have been shot down
By a stone
Im gonna walk
Across the stateline
Gotta take a
Higher road

Im on the great divide
Im sanctified
Be by your side
I hope we dont collide
So let me ride
The great divide
Its beautiful

Its beautiful
Its beautiful
Its beautiful

I left my house
And the sound of the city
And they call me
A Vagabond
And my fate
Has been decided
In the arc light
Before the dawn
I got a brand new thing
Im gonna kiss my mojo
Im gonna cure my ill

My caravan
Has gone and departed
And the wind
Cried in my face
I have walked
Upon the wasteland
Tied and bound
To the killing floor
I gotta brand new thing
Im gonna kiss mojo
Im gonna cure my ill

Im down again
But its not over
Im down again
Into a landslide
Im down again
What does it feel like
Im down again
But its not over
Its not over

I open my eyes
On the vast horizon
And i see
The coat that i wear
But my fate
Has been decided
In the arc light
Before the dawn
I gotta brand new thing
Im gonna kiss my mojo
Im gonna cure my ill

Im down again
But its not over
Im down again
Into a landslide
Im down again
What does it feel like
Im down again
But its not over
Its not over

Im down again
But its not over
Im down again
Into a landslide
Im down again
What does it feel like
Im down again
But its not over
Its not over

You know the state of mind I'm in
How could I get so low?
Erase it from my memory, the hands of fate
They move too slow
I'm goin' down so hard to fall
I've got to find some peace
And I have got to save myself
You know my soul will be released

You kill me like an animal
You kill me
And I won't, no I won't
I won't be no beggar man
I won't be no beggar man
And I won't, no I won't
I won't be no beggar man
No more, no more

Here come the deep down cryin' pain
Now you can taste my blood
And I can see the shallow grave
My malady misunderstood
The chasm that I lie beneath
Has all but took my pride
But I've been pulled by gravity
Connected to the storm inside

You kill me like an animal
You kill me
And I won't, no I won't
I won't be no beggar man
I won't be no beggar man
And I won't, no I won't
I won't be no beggar man
No more, no more

You kill me like an animal
You kill me
And I won't, no I won't
I won't be no beggar man
I won't be no beggar man
And I won't, no I won't
I won't be no beggar man
No more, no more

I hold, the passion
For many years, i would listen
The heavy weight upon my chest
Like a wailing wall

Code of silence of a dying heart
Don't know where the end begins and the truth starts
When the hammer falls it falls on you
I sit here waiting, waiting

I pull back the veil and I just can't breathe, UH
And I fly away, fly away
Like a song of yesterday

Freezing night an oil lamp burns
The suns fire, will soon return
Broken castles, the flags still flown
Like a living ghost

Code of silence of a dying heart
Don't know where the end begins and the truth starts
When the hammer falls it falls on you
I sit here waiting, waiting

I pull back the veil and I just can't breathe, UH
And I fly away
Break it down, so low you don't know where you been
Try a little harder, now you're the drunk mad man in jail

I fly away
Gonna fly away
gonna fly away
Im reaching out
Like a song from yesterday

I'm on my way to Avalon
So high above the sea
No sympathy, cos I'll be gone
Now won't you come with me
And I can see the matador
He move without a sound
And I can't stay here anymore
I stand on shaky ground

I open my mind
I am healed by the sun
I pull down the blind
And I wait for the gun
There's no time, my brother
There's no time to catch the light
There's no time, oh, children
There's no time to make it right
There's no time, Lordy, Mama
There's no time to walk a mile
There's no time

I fill my head with sanity
I gotta get control
I'm gazin' at the majesty
The wheels begin to roll
I swear that we'll be lifted
To cities that I know
The grateful and the gifted
I've got to let it go

I open my mind
I am healed by the sun
I pull down the blind
And I wait for the gun
There's no time, my brother
There's no time to catch the light
There's no time, oh, children
There's no time to make it right
There's no time, Lordy, Mama
There's no time to walk a mile
There's no time

I open my mind
I am healed by the sun
I pull down the blind
And I wait for the gun
There's no time, my brother
There's no time to catch the light
There's no time, oh, children
There's no time to make it right
There's no time, Lordy, Mama
There's no time to walk a mile
There's no time

You're bound to think that I'm on the shore
From a sea that never came
There's no time to find the time
I've done what has to be done
Voices call the nameless one
Crying all of the time
Tales of no one in my sleep
Stepping out into the night

But you said you saw Medusa
The one with the head of fire
The legend of Medusa
Lies in the devil's eyes

I've got myself to blame
Through talking to your brother
Too late to say I'll stay
Too late to say I'll bother
Take out your thorn and speak
Afraid you are to keep
Flailing forces fail
Now wake before you sleep

You said you saw Medusa
Looking down on you
But the legend of Medusa
Soon be with you

You're bound to think I'm on the shore
From a sea that almost came
There's no time to find the time
I've done what has to be done
I've done what has to be done
I've done what has to be done
I have done
Take a good look at my face

I seen the tallest mountains
I've drank your finest wine
I've been your soldier of fortune
I bend to down to my last dime

Now it's mind over matter
Story of legends, you'll see
Like the fields of Dunkirk
Still the revolution in me

I marched my army to New Orleans
Burning everything in sight
Ides of March are up on me
Won't take me without a fight

Now it's mind over matter
Story of legends, you'll see
Like the fields of Dunkirk
Still the revolution in me

I always handle my business
Promptly rolled the dice
I'm forty now, my best days are gone
Still have fire in my eyes

Now it's mind over matter
Story of legends, you'll see
Like the fields of Dunkirk
Still the revolution in me

Now it's my mind that matters
Still the revolution in me
Still the revolution in me

I come to my senses
And I feel like I've just been born
Gonna tear down the fences
And my feet have been shackled and torn
And I face my resistance
And I stake my flag in the ground
They will come in many colors
In the silence breakin' me down

I'm ten miles away
And I won't be afraid
I've been locked in this dream far too long
And I lie awake and the hurt breaks my fall
All alone in this world with my symphony
I stand, I stand at the burning tree
I stand, oh, Lord, won't you justify me

Too long is my sentence
I can't let myself slowly drown
There's a sign in the skyline
I won't let this curse take me down
I have lived with the shaman
Tried to get myself company
And I walk with the angels
When the come they don't lie to me

I'm ten miles away
And I won't be afraid
I've been locked in this dream far too long
And I lie awake and the hurt breaks my fall
All alone in this world with my symphony
I stand, I stand at the burning tree
I stand, oh, Lord, won't you justify me

I'm ten miles away
And I won't be afraid
I've been locked in this dream far too long
And I lie awake and the hurt breaks my fall
All alone in this world with my symphony
I stand, I stand at the burning tree
I stand, oh, Lord, won't you justify me

Do you feel you've been to war?
You say you like it but you could not leave
Got a multiple ovation
You burn the light and you do receive
I'll be gone tomorrow
Sometimes I gotta go away
Maybe the line is wider baby
Gonna take that fast train

You have tried to go the distance
But you can't get no release
You will fade to black
Your mind will crack
It's all you're livin' for
And I am breakin' please

Sweet Sista Jane
Sure like the pain
You will remain
Sweet Sista Jane

You get your faith and your therapy
But your mind's spun a lie in your head
And you're full of contradiction
You never heard a word I said
I can stay until the mornin'
You know the hour is late
Now you're walkin' on a wire
Don't it make your big day?

You have tried to go the distance
But you just can't get no release
You will fade to black
Waitin' for the world to crack
It's all you're livin' for
And I am breakin' please

Sweet Sista Jane
Sure like the pain
You will remain
Sweet Sista Jane

You've got your faith and your therapy
Your mind's spun a lie in your head

You have tried to go the distance
But you just can't get no release
You will fade to black
Your mind will crack
It's all you're livin' for
And I am breakin' please

Sweet Sista Jane
Sure like the pain
You will remain
Sweet Sista Jane

Sweet Sista Jane
Sure like the pain
You will remain
Sweet Sista Jane

Long day is gone I feel so hollow
I see my spirit, it falls from grace
I travel on, hope you will follow
I'm on the outside, I can't get no space

Give it to Mother Earth
Take it for what it's worth

Slowly I lay down this burden beside me
And I start to stumble and rise to my feet
It's all that I have I cannot wander
So hard to swallow, It's so bittersweet

Give it to Mother Earth
Take it for what it's worth
It's too late for the sun
It's too late for the sun

I took my vow but I need some shelter
I change the weather and I shield the pain
Now I shed my skin before I get older
And I save myself from a hurricane

Give it to Mother Earth
Take it for what it's worth
It's too late for the sun
It's too late for the sun
