There's a full moon over this ancient town
A clock face the color of the sky
And every street that we walk down
Belongs to the house where my father died
Where prisoners march in lockstep with each other
Reavers test the limit of their rage
Dragging their dead weight from the other
While I claim my place, center stage
I've been thrown by the threshing of his going
Chained to his unseen stride
I have walked in lockstep without knowing
My end
Indifference, my only disguise
Now it comes through me like an injection
Anonymous pain throbbing real inside
And every pulse in my body
Belongs to the house where my father died
Won't catch his spirit in a candle
Honor a life in its guttering glow
Death comes through these streets like a scandal
Bent up and beaten
Oh, a bitter body blow
And in bars and in shaded back rooms
Those who can't cope just can't hide
But every place that we walk down the street
This drink takes me to
Belongs to the house where my father died
And there's a full moon over this ancient town
Headlights numb the banner of the sky
Rain rages the steadings in the open ground
And I'm a child fighting shadows with tears in my eyes
And the valley cannons in thunder
Trees brawl beneath the bruising of the sky
Like sentries shield the lake from my wonder
And I'm as helpless as a child hiding from lies
And the face from my mind is fading
I count the wounds for my life





For the very first time
Tonight there's gonna be a reckoning
I'm entering the house
Where my father died
Tonight there's gonna be a reckoning
With the voice of the aperity

I'm a child fighting shadows with tears in my eyes
So pull the strings together

All of myours can all be goodbye
