The hour is ending, can't you see
There is no way now, to get free
In the shadow of the season
Without a reason, to carry   more...home
Without a reason, without a reason


And from the north woods
Down on the valley
In a world of hurting, I'm moving on
Out from the lighthouse
Out on the ocean
Can't climb the mountain, so very tall


Said Lord please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion feels alright
The hour is drawing ever closer
And rolling over, won't let me be
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry home


Said Lord please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion


She calls me onward to her side
And feels her song deep inside
And find a reason
In the shadow, of the season
To find a reason to carry home
In the shadow, of the season
To find a reason to carry home
Find a reason, to carry home
To carry home, to find a reason
To carry home, to carry home  less

Lyrics:

The dog descends through the promised land
Down kingdom come and the acid bath
I'm Babylon, burned inside out
Nothing to kill it
I hit the city
In Maryanne I dug a hole
And watched her trip on my hollow soul
And in the end all that crawled was my skin
I couldn't kill it
I hit the city
I hit the city
The ghost arrives at its bitter end
To the promised land and the dog descends
I'm Babylon, burned inside out
Nothing to kill it
I hit the city (x5)
1,2,3,4
I hit the city  less

very tempted not to go down this obvious root (pun intended) but sometimes you need to let them go - anyway I love this song - *posted for my own amusement

fun!

A female Disney castle screams like a dad. Little kids cover their ears. Teenagers don't.

Leo screaming like a girl. Little kids cover their ears. Teenagers don't.
