Isobel Lyrics by Husbands N Knives

Virosa Ebriosa

2015

[Verse 1]
Isobel, the endless summer
Is the slow poison that kills her
Silent meadows empty laughter
Nothing to look for, you'd rather
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the hills as the great oaks sway
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the dawn on the longest day
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah
[Verse 2]
You dream of the hollow hills
From a place where life stands still
You know the storm that's coming
Will put an end to your longing
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the hills as the great oaks sway
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the dawn on the longest day
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah
[Verse 3]
As she stands under the stars
She knows she is not the perfect bride
Kills the hole in her broken heart
With secret songs and ancient rites
[Pre-Chorus]
So she sings when no one is listening
She dances where no one is standing
In the hall of the faery queen
She got so drunk, she smashed her wings
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the hills as the great oaks sway
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the dawn on the longest day
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na
[Bridge]
She left a broom in her husband's bed
A stupid prank, a last farewell
Then she spat at the church Elders
"One day your God will be forgotten!"
[Verse 4]
Isobel lived for her truth
And she paid the highest price
And around her graceful neck
The rope has left purple marks
[Chorus]
Now fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the hills as the great oaks sway
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the dawn on the longest day
[Verse 5]
They buried her at the crossroads
Like the shameless witch that she was
Free to roam in the faery land
No more a slave to the world of men
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the hills as the great oaks sway
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Into the dawn on the longest day
[Outro]
One, two, give the Devil his due
Three, four, sail me to the shore
Five, six, on the river Styx
Seven, eight, and through the gate
Fade away
Fade away
