Olivia Chrestomanci - Fight Them Hellhounds, Dean lyrics

You've got a pair of beat-up boots and they have always served you well The heels they pound the graveyard ground like somnolence of chapel bells Their leather tongues are flapping full of stories they could tell And their solid soles know all the words to every ballad of farewell When summer hail is fallin' down or drums are beating out a poem You can't help but imagine Kansas and the last days you were home You buzz around the thought of flight like bees around a honeycomb And lucid dream all through the night, yeah deep in sleep you're free to roam Yes in your sleep the lines are crossed And cliffs were made for jumping off And everything is open for creation Spontaneous creation Like combustion Like an engine Like a Bible A set of wheels A lifetime seeking vengeance for A murder that you never saw Your father's word become your law Your world become a midnight '67 Chevy Impala Watch your brother's back Traverse the highways of America You think that you're a lonely man You're not alone, you're stronger than Believing we would let you go in just a year With all the blows that you have braved And all the people you have saved You just can't disappear into thin air You can't just disappear You can hear a blackbird singing or perhaps a raven crying From the woven roof of branches as they frame the jaundiced sun's decline You raise your head and bless the dead and it is purifying You know that we're all revenants, of that there's no denying Sometimes you think the time has come to ditch your car and hop a train Where you can lean your shoulder on somebody else's windowpane The tug and pull that's troubling you will cease to cause a strain And the tensions of the tawdry world will shiver off like consecrated rain Yes consecrated words ring true Your brother's voice will pull you through And every road is just as good as being there Your brother's life is not worth more But goddamn it's worth fighting for And all your love and all your life has led you there You think that you're a lonely man You're not alone, you're stronger than Believing we would let you go in just a year With all the knives that you have thrown And all the lives that you have known You can't just disappear into thin air You can't just disappear With all the blows that you have braved And all the lives that you have saved You can't just disappear into thin air You can't just disappear
