On the Eve of My Destruction Lyrics by Nile Rivers

Folkstar

2023

[Verse]
On the eve of my destruction
I took a picture of the dawn
On the night of my undoing
Scarlet woman of Babylon was in my arms
[Refrain]
How she calls us to the dawn
How the days would soon be gone
[Verse]
My time passed through thereafter
And my days grew ever long
Like a fool, I was waiting for my letter
But soon the months, soon the years were gone
[Refrain]
How she calls me to the dawn
How the nights would soon be long
[Verse]
And so, I sought out for my penance
Yet I only found defense
For those of us, who'd rather live by a stranger
Than die by a friend
[Refrain]
How she calls me to the dawn
How the nights would soon be long
[Verse]
As I sit now by the water
God rest each one of you
As the west wind's surely blowin'
I wait for my dawn to start anew
[Outro]
People that you tried to
Stories that we made up
People that will leave you
Morning of the earth
Morning of the earth
(I'm a folkstar, not a northstar)
