The Demon Ether Lyrics & Tabs by The Deadly Gentlemen
The Demon Ether
guitar chords lyrics
The midnight badland's blasted and thirsty,
I'm rifling out past it so fast that it hurts me,
Strange things scream in the demon ether all around me,
It's a pity my love lives,
She'll never sleep soundly.
When they buried my body, blood drained to the last drop of it,
It poisoned the grass, every leaf in a whole crop of it,
I tumbled into the undergloom with the world fading above me,
But I swore that I'd be back for my maiden so lovely.
That death be sleep,
That's truthless treachery,
God stole the soul,
From the ruin of the wretch of me,
And down into hell's welter,
He drove it into the deepness,
From the ruin of the wretch of me,
And down into hell's welter,
He drove it into the deepness,
I traveled that frightening lightyear,
Every moment of it sleepless.
Through glooms and gloaming,
I rose up out of that hellhole,
Beckoned by world's every beacon every bell toll,
I'm back and I'm on fire, I burn insanely,
The world is small and it will not contain me.
Dangling at an angle, in love and entangled,
Above and unbodied I ravel out of the fabric,
A demented and bent and dented revenant,
Badland madman, avid and maverick,
My soul a broken locomotive iron leviathan,
With a buckling raddled track and twisted up pistons,
I awakened all vacant, reeling and feeling fake,
And ready to break down or make it the distance.
Time goes by, every minute of it thrillless,
Traveling this fast is just like stillness,
Around and around, I circle and I trace back,
Trying to find my maiden my needle in a haystack.
I'm in a prison of wind where the dead leaves scud low,
Where back in the day my heart did beat and my blood flow,
You walk and I go beside,
You're looking at me blindly,
I'm agleam in the demon ether,
Here I finally find thee.
