Patterns In The Badlands Lyrics by Joel Porter

A Costly Collection

0

[Verse 1]
Rusted earth and dusty badland canyons
Hear the spirits cry their sins
Built a home here and the bones are brittle
Losing life and wearing thin
Garden scorched and dried and whether tortured
Giving claim to little fruit
The cost of our missteps a wasted season
Only hope we find some truth in simple patterns
[Chorus]
Where the wax sun melts the west
Hands re-craft it in the morn’
August alters soil to rest
March retakes thе earth reborn
Snow thaws from the mountain top
Feeds thе river current strong
Dark delivers radiant lift
Brings the new day, brings the dawn
Hark the simple patterns
Carry on, Carry on
[Verse 2]
Leather pack and straps are fastened and filled
To the brim with all we know
Left to lay within the hallow badlands
Leave the bad man, let him go
[Bridge]
Are you sure about this?
Do you think we have a chance?
Will the phoenix find its feathers?
Will the dandelions dance?
[Verse 3]
Trusted worth and steady comforted tested
Turn our cheeks to tradition
Now we go my love, into the distance
Hope to find some forgiveness in simple patterns
[Chorus]
Where the wax sun melts the west
Hands re-craft it in the morn’
August alters soil to rest
March retakes the earth reborn
Snow thaws from the mountain top
Feeds the river current strong
I pray you leave what needs to die
So that we may meet the dawn
And Carry on and on and on and on
Carry on and on and on and on
Carry on and on and on and on
Carry on and on and on and on
