Devil's Spoke lyrics

That I might be a part of this

Ripple on water from a lonesome drip

A fallen tree that witnessed me

Him alone, him and me

And that life itself could not aspire

To have someone be so admired

I threw creation to my kin

With a silence broken by a whispered wind

All of this can be broken

All of this can be broken

Hold your devil by his spoke

And spin him to the ground

And root to root and tip to tip

I look at him, my country drip

Leathered up by all his fears

But someone brought you close to tears

Many trains and many miles

Brought you to me on this sunny isle

And what of which you wish to speak

Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken

All of this can be broken

Hold your devil by his spoke

And spin him to the ground

But the love of your life lives but lies no more

And where she lay a flower grows

The arms that fed and the babes that wed

The backs that bled keeping her in tow

But I am your keeper

And I hold your face away from light

I am yours till they come

I am yours till they come

Eye to eye, nose to nose

Ripping off each other's clothes in a most peculiar way

Eye to eye, nose to nose

Ripping off each other's clothes in a most peculiar way
