Songs: Ohia - Blue Factory Flame lyrics

When I die Put my bones in an empty street To remind me of how it used to be Don't write my name on a stone Bring a Coleman lantern and a radio Cleveland game and two fishing poles And watch with me from the shore Ghostly steel and iron ore Ships coming home Where I am Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Clearly iron age beasts You can tell by the rust and by the chains By the oil that they bleed A crew of crows fly the skulls and bones They fly the colors of their homes I fly the cross of the blue factory flame Stitched with heavy sulfer thread They ain't proud colors but they're true Colors of my home Where I am Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Every mile for ten thousand miles Every year for a thousand years Every night for a thousand more I hear em call I hear em call I hear em call They never say to come home They never say to come home Where I am Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness Paralyzed by the emptiness
