Basil Lamplight
Basil lamplight, I stayed up all night staring at a blank page
Woke in the morning
I sketch out of storm, and watched it drift my way
It's just a means to an end
Lord I'm drenched in the sin
But who is keeping score
Well you head up stream where the water turns to steam
At the gates of Mordor
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, it's just part of the deal man
Well my nostrils flared to cold crisp air, drifting through the breeze
And the grass was 3 feet high, to the ants it was the sky
Like for me the sequoia trees
Four seasons pass, over eighteen years, dressed in Kodachrome
As the years go past, under the sun bleach glass, they gain a monotone
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, it's just part of the deal man
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, it's just part of the deal man
Basil lamplight, I stayed up all night staring at a blank page
I woke in the morning
I sketch out of storm, and I watched it drift my way
Oh, it's just a means to an end
Lord I'm drenched in the sin, but who is keeping score
When you head up stream where the water turns to steam
At the gates of Mordor
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, this is part of the deal
Woke in the morning
I sketch out of storm, and watched it drift my way
It's just a means to an end
Lord I'm drenched in the sin
But who is keeping score
Well you head up stream where the water turns to steam
At the gates of Mordor
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, it's just part of the deal man
Well my nostrils flared to cold crisp air, drifting through the breeze
And the grass was 3 feet high, to the ants it was the sky
Like for me the sequoia trees
Four seasons pass, over eighteen years, dressed in Kodachrome
As the years go past, under the sun bleach glass, they gain a monotone
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, it's just part of the deal man
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, it's just part of the deal man
Basil lamplight, I stayed up all night staring at a blank page
I woke in the morning
I sketch out of storm, and I watched it drift my way
Oh, it's just a means to an end
Lord I'm drenched in the sin, but who is keeping score
When you head up stream where the water turns to steam
At the gates of Mordor
I want to know where we stand
I want to see where the monster meets the man
Compromise you will, this is part of the deal
