Songtext von Limestone And Lye

The well ran dry back in the heat of June But the dust still finds a way to dance I planted eyes in this hollow ground Just to give the shadows a fighting chance My boots are heavy with the secrets I keep In a language only the gravel knows A man ain't nothing but the ghost of a seed Waiting on the rain to choose where it goes Oh, let the fire climb the sycamore tree And let the river drag the floor I got a heart made of limestone and lie I don't need mercy from the storm no more Burn it down, let the sky turn black If you're standing in the eye of the rain You can't break what's already been ground to powder You can't kill a man that's already tasted the pain Oh, tasted the pain The salt in the air is the only friend I have Washing the red clay out of my eyes I built this house on a fault line of hope Underneath a heavy, indifferent sky They say that gold is refined in the heat But iron just learns how to hold the spark I'm a flintstone rolling down a gravel road Lighting my own way through the dark Oh, let the fire climb the sycamore tree And let the river drag the floor I got a heart made of limestone and lie I don't need mercy from the storm no more Burn it down, let the sky turn black If you're standing in the eye of the rain You can't break what's already been ground to powder You can't kill a man that's already tasted the pain Tasted the pain Tasted the pain, oh I'm the rain on the dust On the dust I'm the rust on the iron Rust on the iron Still standing, still breathing Through the smoke and the thunder, still here Limestone and lye Still here
