she was walking bent over
her eyes on the ground
she was waiting for the past
waiting for her train southbound
my son there are many things in my life
that can be forgiven
and there comes this time when you have to decide
to be scared or to love and live
the devil always finds some work for idle hands
never stop singing and doing all the things you can
she once loved a man
good looking, well known
with his guitar he was aiming at fascists
'till everyone's been overthrown
my son there are many things in my life
that can't be forgiven
and there comes this time when you have to decide
to be scared or to love and live
her hair as grey as the sky
his eyes as red as holy fire
my son there are many things in my life
that can't be forgiven
and there comes this time when you have to decide
to be scared or to love and live
the devil always finds some work for idle hands
never stop singing and doing all the things you can

Mining for Gold

old man's days are ending in a cellar
old man don't have no life, don't have no fellas
once he could have been a lovin' dad
but sinning was to joyful
'til minds are turning mad
his good heart is buried by the pills they gave him
his childish eyes look numb 'cause of work that enslaved him
and he forgot to feel 'cause of voices that caged him
he's only trusting his own hands 'cause of men that betrayed him
how could the devil take his soul
a puppet is mining for gold
tall man is stooping slowly, eyes are lonely
blind man chose the wrong way, always hungry
his hobby is smoking and sexist joking
lost wife and money once times were sunny
his hands are seeking his soul is leaking
lost dog and castle it's time to hustle
his good heart is buried by the pills they gave him
his childish eyes look numb 'cause of work that enslaved him
and he forgot to feel 'cause of voices that caged him
he's only trusting his own hands 'cause of men that betrayed him
how could the devil take his soul
a puppet is mining for gold

In the Woods

prayers unlistened
fires in her heart
getting closer to distance
hearing ghosts in the dark
she lived alone in the woods
motherless no past no goods
god above and hell behind
sadness in her soul madness in her mind
demons diggin' holes
'cause there's always light to find
the wolves surround her during her sleep
protect her, giving birth, enlight her
enlight her to weep
god above and hell behind
sadness in her soul madness in her mind
demons diggin' holes
'cause there's always light to find

Zenith

obsessive with thinking
and your world and mind is shrinking
to a rusty prison cell
empty disconnected
only numb lights are reflected
and there's nothing left to tell
searching for a reason while summer and winter seasons are passing by
searching for a reason while spring and autumn seasons are rushing by
your waters are waiting
for you to embrace them
your pain is growing up
your heart is green and soft
shape your shadows take a step in the zenith
take your fellows to higher depths to your limits
your waters are waiting
for you to embrace them
your pain is growing up
your heart is green and soft
