Apostles Of The Moon
This one's for the ancestors
Choices, unfolding
In the steps, under my feet
Voices, rolling
Outta the depths, outta the deep
I was once a lover, oh, but now I'm just a fool
Shielding evil from above her, cloaked in armor made of wool
I saw the hangman riding on a white mare last night
Between the gallops he was sighing, and at the gallows he did fight
To put me in his ropes after I thought maybe he came to elope, and rob me of my lady
And the apostles of the moon
They chanted in a lonely tune
The apostles of the moon
They'll sing for us all so soon
Something, calling
Pushing me back, saying go home
Nothing, is befalling
Love but a lack, of being one's own
I took the hangman darling yes I strangled him for you
With eyes bloodshot, and snarling, I held him tight in the morning few
Now don't be afraid my dear, for I'm off into the woods
I can't stay very near, and I wouldn't if I could
For these games that I've been playing, oh, they're growing old and tired
Losing till I'm graying, and lying in the muck and the mire
Thistles, Ephesus
It whistles, in the breezes
And the apostles of the moon
The chanted in a lonely tune
The apostles of the moon
They'll sing for us all so soon
Chanting, falling
Upon the flesh, within in my ears
Dancing, and crawling
Into the west, is all that I hear
Full moon shining in the night, the sky is bright
Singing and dancing with all my friends
Gathered round the fire
Singing to the spirits of the dead, living in our hearts and heads
Banging on the drums and plucking on the lyre
Gathered round the fire
The gospel's short and the law it needs no words
Just a path into the moonlight
Where we gathered round the fire
Full moon shining in the night, the sky is bright
Singing and dancing with all of my friends
Gathered round the fire
Singing to the spirits of the dead living in our hearts and heads
Banging on the drums and plucking on the lyre
Gathered round the fire
The gospel's short and the law it needs no words
Just a path into the moonlight
Where we gathered round the fire
Choices, unfolding
In the steps, under my feet
Voices, rolling
Outta the depths, outta the deep
I was once a lover, oh, but now I'm just a fool
Shielding evil from above her, cloaked in armor made of wool
I saw the hangman riding on a white mare last night
Between the gallops he was sighing, and at the gallows he did fight
To put me in his ropes after I thought maybe he came to elope, and rob me of my lady
And the apostles of the moon
They chanted in a lonely tune
The apostles of the moon
They'll sing for us all so soon
Something, calling
Pushing me back, saying go home
Nothing, is befalling
Love but a lack, of being one's own
I took the hangman darling yes I strangled him for you
With eyes bloodshot, and snarling, I held him tight in the morning few

Full moon shining in the night, the sky is bright

Banging on the drums and plucking on the lyre
Gathered round the fire
The gospel's short and the law it needs no words
Just a path into the moonlight
Where we gathered round the fire
