It's All Going To End Tonight

from Ancient Fire by Jake Shane

/

lyrics

I was burned and burned out
But I came back again
Against the black meridian
Your shadow told me then
That hell had been invented
But it couldn’t stop the sins
The orphans, the Ophelia’s
The persecuted skins
We ought to be ashamed
To think we know what’s right
Oh, baby, it’s all going to end tonight

Your shining dark gray eyes
Hold the image of the sun
But you know that all reflection
Is a lie the mind has spun
While peasants dream of stone and bread
And cross themselves with thunder
Devils ready sharp their hooks
And wait to pull them under
As we struggle in the darkness
To try to find the light
Oh, baby, it’s all going to end tonight

One still summer evening
A window open wide
A mother kneeling broken cried
With nothing left to hide
Held her son out up for God
In the slant of the setting sun
To the holy image haloed high
She prayed him for protection
That memory seared into his soul
And still shines burning bright
Oh, baby, we might just make it tonight
Oh, baby, we might just make it tonight
