We looked out on the sea long past the beach and the pilings
Roll on your sore season is gone
Held the dream in our teeth kept up the fighting and dying
Live on
Men sold sugar all the way back to the invention of the gunny sack
To be known to be known to be known to be known
They took babies from mamas they took the lightning from diamonds
They’re taking lightning from diamonds they’re helping and they’re smiling
Taking lightning and frightening the selfless and the assassinine
My precious wouldn’t leave me behind unawake unalive
They’re taking lightning from diamonds they’re helping and they’re smiling
Taking lightning and frightening the selfless and the assassinine
My precious wouldn’t leave me behind unawake unalive
Was there a reminder inspiring lifted from them come before us
From the beach fire tribes or the retreat to the forest
How decrepit the form of the broad shoulders that bore us
From Malkuth
Live on
Seeing men’s minds doubt and empires fall the knowledge ain’t wasted
We passed through some horrible themes and phases
The pit and the snake and the witch at her stake keep a loner wasted
Wasted
Live on
They’re taking lightning from diamonds they’re helping and they’re smiling
Taking lightning and frightening the selfless and the assassinine
My precious wouldn’t leave me behind unawake unalive
They’re taking lightning from diamonds they’re helping and they’re smiling
Taking lightning and frightening the selfless and the assassinine
My precious wouldn’t leave me behind unawake unalive

Jim, I'm loving this album! Sounds so good. I don't think the pedal steel was on the last versions of these tracks I heard. It's great! Kudos on a lovely record. Ben Armstrong
