Raise That Lantern Songtext
von The Black Sorrows

I can′t hold out here much longer
The storm won't ever break, those lights won′t ever shine
I've been nailed up, shown no mercy
There's a curse upon this land honey,
I′m dyin′ on the vine
Raise that lantern, keep it bright
Hold it close so I can see Sleep in tears by yourself tonight
Roll that load over me
I've been sold out, held to ransom
Thrown into the wind so I know which way it blows
I′ve been locked out, shown no pity
In a faithless town you're gonna reap what you sow
Over you, over me, roll that load over me

(J. Camilleri N. Smith – Rondor Warner Chappell)
