Songs:Ida Red (133892)

Lyrics

Despite the pain to start again the future soon will roll
And sacrifice the past and all of those within
The wrong assassin with no eyes is humming "Lightly Row"
And outside on the street you stand abiding him

The last revisions of your love have brought you to this well
But no one knows exactly what your wish is for
Your war that went to waste was in a town right above hell
Where all the people wanted was a little bit more

Ida Red, Ida blue
Could nothing but dirt and a shovel stop you
Ida Red, Ida blue
Here's hoping the devil gets you before I do

The rain is tired of dying here, the mourning whistle blows
The backs of all your adversaries turn to you
And so I made my getaway towards the place we chose
You said "meet in a day" but still you've never passed through

Ida Red, Ida blue
Could nothing but dirt and a shovel stop you
Ida Red, Ida blue
Here's hoping the devil gets you before I do

The barking dogs and born agains, they only know you're wrong
They pray over your victims as they bury them
The screaming guns and harlequins, they only know you're gone
They break apart your crosses and they carry them

Each lonely soulless mile is now all that I can trace
The stories change of what you did and didn't do
The evil of ambition paints a mask across each face
And memory tends to serve only the best of you
