Kutná Hora Blues

from Scarlet Road by Thannos

/

lyrics

The chest was shining
As I walked in the room
X sometimes marks the spot
If you know where to look

The choir was chanting
Songs that no one had heard
Sometimes the words are simple
Life ain't a test

The priest said
"Son, you're not allowed here
This is a convent, not a home"
Slipped past the angels and the Gargoyles
The chest was empty
And the light went on

And so I walked
I walked and walked, my fingers crossed
Through twisted miles and scarlet roads

Feels like I'm riding
But I never arrive

I tried to tame my Demons
Many years ago
So I took them with me
Out on the road

They said that Rock n' Roll
is bad for my soul
The Blues are with me, baby
Anywhere I go

I was a Rebel and a traitor
After I finished I moved on
I sell my voice and nothing else now
But I was disrupted by the end of the world

A vision formed
Come save us, come ye men of hope
It's raining plagues, the good guys lost

I'll keep on walking
On a burning trail

I see a kingdom born and bred in the night
For years you waited but He never arrived
I see they stopped the war
and looked at the time

I see that Heaven's here
And so is the pyre

You've paid with gold
You've paid with blood and raised a storm
For every child that has been shot

I must be moving
But I'll never arrive
Ten million corpses
will arise from the ground
And they'll carve deep in stone
The life they were denied
And you'll cry
And ask me why
The Dead don't die

They simply walk
And we shall walk amongst them, watch
Walk past the lines you chose to cross

If I don't make it
Well, at least know I tried
