lyrics

The sun was hanging low
The sky was burning orange
Horizon was quiet and peaceful
under a flight of crows
The river was frozen, yeah,
and the fields were still
The only road out of town had me bent to its will.

I'm moving on again, so farewell my friend

Road plunging darker
into a no-man's land
The comforts of home are a-callin'
but they cannot be had
The night air was frozen, yeah,
something moved in the trees
Pick up the pace, man,
don't let the shadows deceive

I'm moving on again, so farewell my friend

It's time to pack all belongings
It's time to head for the hills
It's time to hack away at all these roots that have been fanning out
It's time to burn up the atlas
It's time to smother the stars
It's time to get good and lost and work at finding yourself again

These dusty trails, criss-crossing like a spider's web
These dusty trails, leading us on and on and on

The future was frightening
and a nightmarish past
Forever coming and going
taking no time to look back
The road's ever winding
Opportunity at every bend
No time for resting
if I want to live to see the end

I'm moving on again, so farewell my friend

They tought rock’n roll should be loud, to the point, and capable of shaking your pants and bobbing your head. Their lyrics told tall tales about the future, the past, monsters and more. Somehow, it worked. Well.

tGDM believed that massive amplification was ALWAYS the answer. ... more
