Billy Strings - Fire Line lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a careless wind that carries me across the great divide From the wretched underworld to the place where fear resides Behind the line you hold, you can only hold so long When you see my forked tongue and you hear my twisted song [Verse 2] My sign is the fire line, uncontrolled My bitter ruthlessness is a beacon to behold Like cancer growin', someday to die Where the watеr's flowin', I'm gonna drain the river dry [Chorus] 'Cause it's a poison drеam Keeps me runnin' through the night I'll take it all, and then some more By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light [Verse 3] Burn through the midnight oil and the bridges I can't cross Somehow, I'll find myself in everything you've lost We've seen it all before, but it comes as no surprise Just like reflections of the fire in your eyes [Chorus] It's a poison dream Keeps me runnin' through the night I'll take it all, and then some more By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light [Verse 4] And when the work is done and the Devil's called his time You'll feel a sterile breeze that blows through ashen pine And you may ask yourself, "Where did the endgame lie?" The question I might ask if I could stop to wonder why [Chorus] It's a poison dream Keeps me runnin' through the night I'll take it all, and then some more By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light It's a poison dream Keeps me runnin' through the night I'll take it all, and then some more By the dawnin' of the sickly mornin' light
