Crossroad Lightning - Jess and the Ancient Ones

Oh I have seen you before

You’ve been wailing outside my door

Oh I have seen you before

Riding down on a lightning storm

Serpents dancing they celebrate my death

The devil knocks upon my door

I am no one, no need for name

Offer me shelter from the rain

Howling death kept coming back

Gonna drag me through the fires

Hope and love still burn behind my eyes

Only misery I bring

Standing by you, drawn towards your dark

I feel my heart soon will drown

A graveyard kiss upon your lips

Gonna drag me through the fires

Show me the worlds of freedom, the burning temples of will

Where are the flowers born to poison the poet’s mind

Your name is carved upon my skin, your voice burns inside my mind

And I am bleeding before your hands, bleeding for your love

Howling death please take me back, I’m addicted to your fires

I want to kiss your graveyard lips, once more for the road

I am leaving before the dawn, so hold me for so long

I will disappear within the cosmic stroke

Teach me the words of freedom, spoken through all ages

Sing me your darkest melodies, come to me, come to me

Show me that all men must die a thousand deaths

As they are bleeding for your hands, bleeding for your love

Howling death please take me back, I’m addicted to your fires

I want to kiss your graveyard lips, once more for the road

I am leaving before the dawn, so hold me for so long

I will disappear within the cosmic stroke

Oh I am going home

Around the crossroads into the storm

Oh I have been here before

I’m gonna burn
