THE DEVIL'S BONES
She closed the door on a moonlit night
He was turning his mind off
Every breath in her body sighed
Bruises fought for attention
All battered angels cry
No more wings ripped and torn
Hail the comfort of dreaming
Every wrong he has done
No longer covered in silence
The rattle of the devil’s bones
He will tell you what a drag it is
To come home all alone
Feeling troubled to the bone
He will tell you what a life it isAnd pity himself for thisNo more blissJust the silence… slowly creeping in
He tried to cope with the facts of life
But didn’t find any order
Every thought working overtime
Never crossing a border
His guardian angels lie
A bird of prey circling in his sky
Eager to dive and devour
Every rabbit runs for life
Fear grows by the hour
The rattle of the devil’s bones
