Death valley queen where have you been Since they crowned you in glory Filled your head with dreams But it still goes to show in every desert There’s a rose that’s blooming for all to be seen I remember you well from that town You did dwell with the face of an angel In a […]

Grace Of God Go I
Lookin’ down through a tide of no return Is a field where the crops no longer grow Parched is the land, strangled an’ be damned There for the Grace Of God Go I Down beside where the riverbed sleeps Is a man not knowin’ what he should feel Mocked by the wave that beats the […]
Cruel Mistress
