Jonas & Ezekial

Lyrics

I left my anger in a river running highway 5
 New hampshire, vermont, bordered by
 College farms, hubcaps, and falling rocks
 Voices in the woods and the mountaintops
 I used to search for reservations and native lands
 Before I realized everywhere I stand
 There have tribal feet running wild as fire
 Some past life sister of my desire
 Jonas and ezekial hear me now
 Steady now and don't come out
 I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
 Whose turn is it anyway?
 Anyway?
 Now when I was young my people taught me well
 Give back what you take or you'll go to hell
 It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind
 Every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine
 Every devil I meet is an angel in disguise
 Jonas and ezekial hear me now
 Steady now and don't come out
 I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
 Whose angel are you anyway?
 ♪
 White - chain - rope - fear
 (hush my darling)
 Be still my dear
 A bullet in the head, now he's dead
 A friend of a friend, someone said
 He was an activist with a very short life
 I think there's a lesson here - he died without a fight
 In the war over land where the world began
 Prophecies say it's where the world will end
 But there's a tremor growing in our backyard
 Fear in our heads, fear in our hearts
 Prophets in the graveyard
 Jonas and ezekial hear me now
 Steady now and don't come out
 I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
 Whose turn is it anyway?
 Jonas and ezekial hear me now
 Steady now I feel your ghost about
 I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
 Whose angel are you anyway?
 I said there's prophets in the graveyard
 (now I walk in beauty)
 Prophets in the graveyard
 (beauty is before me)
 Prophets in the graveyard
 (beauty is behind me)
 (above and below me)
