Title : A Song for Douglas After He's Dead
Am F Dm E x3
Verse:
Am F
He crouches on the floor, there's a mask on the wall.
Dm E
And he leafs, through the pages of a book.
Am F
But wait as he may in the shadow of other leaves.
Dm E
His heart, in embraces to times long since scorched.
Am F
The horizon folds over, with a purple sun rise.
Dm E
And the wind, carry smoke, from a world that is burning.
Am F
The smoke clogs in his hair, and he's covered with patterns.
Dm E
And a decent, of life trees, on his camouflaged soul.
Am F
With a winter of memories, carved ponder bone white.
Dm E
Beyond his skulls form, a scorpion lies.
Am F
In the crunch of the snow, as his darkness increases.
Dm E
A twilight of ice, encircles his teeth.
Chorus:
Am F Dm E
This is a song for Douglas, after he's dead.
Am F Dm E
This is a song for Douglas, his mercury dances.
Am F Dm E x2
Am F
There's a swastika carved, in the palm of his hand.
Dm E
There's a crooked cross, that is caught in his mind.
Am F
There waits a falling sun, in his eyes.
Dm E
There's the honor, of violence, on his lips.
Am F
His father waits for him, at the towers of silence.
Dm E
Where they worship the fires, so long ago quenched.
Am F
But the two willow trees, with el has inverted.
Dm E
The fork of life snapped, they are father and son.
Am F
So mingling dust, as if life itself
Dm E
Had been mostly illusion, but partially real.
Am F
And partially pain.
Dm E
Am F
And over some wall, if you look through the rubble.
Dm E
Amongst ruins of churches, where life conquers death.
Am F
Thou empires can not last, where blood and soils concepts,
Dm E
Faltered and failed, a cloud still sow his teeth.
Am F
As the world disappears.
Dm E
Chorus:
Am F Dm E
This is a song for Douglas, after he's dead.
Am F Dm E
This is a song for Douglas, his mercury dances.
(Am F Dm E ) x2
Na-nana-nanana-nananana (repeated)
