lyrics

Smoke lingers in the weeds, like a fog that won't lift
Hot iron like rain, thunder in the distance
I'm choking on the ashes, angels breath in the morn
Close my eyes just for a second, and you're gone

Put that fire in my barrel, aim it high aim it true
Bury gold in your body, soft hands dig into you
I watch em' wreck my brothers, cold bodies in the dirt
From whence we came, return these vessels to the earth

I leave behind this heart
bound in twine and broken parts
as death whispers sweetly in my ear

I'm going home

Wrote my name of folded paper, stitched in clearly on my cap
In case I fall, I bleed, I die here at Liberty Gap
I wrote that letter to my family, hardest thing I've come to do
Charge my brothers, as they charge me to get it home to you

I stare into the sun
One last time I fill my lungs
As death whispers sweetly in my ear

I'm going home
