Crossroad Lightning Songtext
von Jess and the Ancient Ones

Oh I have seen you before
You′ve been wailing outside my door
Oh I have seen you before
Riding down on a lightning storm

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

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


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, bleeding for your love

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

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 a thousand deaths
As they are bleeding for your hands, bleeding for your love

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

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