Crossroad Lightning Lyrics by Jess and the Ancient Ones

Second Psychedelic Coming : The Aquarius Tapes

2015

[Intro]
Oh, I have heard you before
You've been wailing outside my door
Oh, I have seen you before
Riding down on a lightning storm

[Verse 1]
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
Howling death kept coming back
Gonna drag me through the fires

[Verse 2]
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
A graveyard kiss upon your lips
Gonna drag me through the fires

[Verse 3]
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, I'm bleeding for your love

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
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 one thousand deaths
As they are bleeding for your hands, bleeding for your love

[Chorus]
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

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 with the dawn

[Outro]
Oh, I am going home
Around the crossroads into the storm
Oh, I have been here before
I'm gonna burn
