Lyrics written by Hiram Camp

I feel the light crawl away
As the night seeps slowly onto my tail lights
The ember of my cigarette
Groaning like the sun of a somber day
Bags of ash under it's dimming eye
The tail of its smoke
Spinning into silhouettes of refugees
Children dancing in their toil
They vanish into the exhausting hold of the night
I drag deep
And lay heavy on the accelerator
The blood of radio transmissions falls dead
And I know I am alone
Alone with the imprint of countless smuggled bodies
The ghosts of their emotions
Rocking in the back seats
Like sardines waiting to be baptized in new lands with new purpose
New hope
Who knows now
Where and if.
My mind drifts back to the road
The white dotted stitching of the highway passing by my treads, in it
I feel the reflections of my spirit
Like glowing eyes in the night
yipping in understanding
At the savagery of the world
Following the scent of blood drawn
Willing me on to head the pack of scavengers
A Prince of sunbleached bones and carrion
Sharp toothed and grinning
My kingdom will inherit me
One day
And my flesh will burn away
My bones will turn to dust
Mixing with the sands of the desert
Radiated as one
With my home
My unforgiving lover
Until then I keep driving
Until the great wall stretches before me
I quench the shine of my headlights and roll blindly off the highway
Riding a worn road long forgotten
Tracing it gently like a fingertip on a vein
I see figures muted in the dark, heads turning like rabbits
Hesitant, anxious, uncertain.
The door slips open
A password is shared
Names are not
They'll never know my name
Only my desire
To lead
Stray dogs in the night
To a new home.
Everyone's a stranger
That's the rules of the road
---
Standing on the wall
Waiting for the truth to spill out
From your eye
Shinning forhead
broken mirror
Lighthouse for all
The wandering children
Come home child
Waiting for the water
Waiting just to try
A new life
In the promised kingdom
But the walls are rising high
The walls are rising faster
Just want to try
To climb up in the pines
Try to crumble all the vapid Kings
With wine
With the wine of
Humility
And shrink their egos shark
Don't let them have the bloody water
Let their putrid egos die
I was standing in your light
We'll send the truth to shock their systems
Break their little minds
Waiting just to try
Waiting for the water
