Les paroles de la chanson
« Burning jacob's ladder »
Mark Lanegan
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat’s off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stain
And what comes crawling back again
Tears are harbored
Down to the thorny altar
I’m afraid I might fade away
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob’s ladder
I’m afraid I might fade away
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Rage untethered
The soul a stony desert
I’m afraid I might fade away
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat’s off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stain
And what comes crawling back again
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob’s ladder
I’m afraid I might fade away
I would go over but my only coat’s off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stain
And what comes crawling back again
Tears are harbored
Down to the thorny altar
I’m afraid I might fade away
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob’s ladder
I’m afraid I might fade away
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
It’s to the blood we sing and burn
Thousand blackbirds on a string return
There’s a solitary sun too high
Gone without the chosen one, goodbye
Rage untethered
The soul a stony desert
I’m afraid I might fade away
Dreams stripped down beyond firelight
I would go over but my only coat’s off white
And seeing things unreal
God knows what that stain
And what comes crawling back again
The ashes scatter
Burning Jacob’s ladder
I’m afraid I might fade away
