crux - creekbed carter hogan lyrics

Loading...

[a river rushing downstream through the mountains, crickets chirp, small spiders weave webs in the thickets, rain falls on a tin roof, a construction crew cutting down a tree]

too late, i put my ear to the ground and listen close
the serpents they are moving and they’re loosening their skins
while men whisper to god beside a bottle and a glass
for he never makes them pay for any one of their everlasting sins

here they come with wine*stained breath and shotguns loaded up
they’re burning like a flame that catches quick upon the pines
i know that when they reach for me they’ll cut my body down
and time will pass in grief without a word as my earthly body dies

the lightning cracks upon the hill and cuts a tree in half
soon their hands will nail me to a cross at hand and feet
when others like me suffered o my coward mouth stayed shut
o why didn’t i sing out before? i see the devil in me

i’ve had seven visions, darling, i’ve had seven dreams
in every single one of them a serpent sings our fate
tin can telephone through every vein that’s just like mine
i’m callin at ya, callin at ya, callin at ya, but i’m a little too late
o i’m a little too late
i see the devil comin up
i see the devil in me on the rise

i pace like a dog around memories of you
o i wish i could stop pacing just like a dog around these memories of you
