about

This song was supposed to have EVEN MORE verses. I wrote more verses and only when I went to record the vocals a few hours ago, did I notice that I'd only recorded enough music for five verses. I'm not exactly sure how that happened. . .
Anyway:
Finally, a self-credited song!

lyrics

I
On the day that I come down from Bloodstone Mountain
Not a single soul dare look me in the eye
So I tossed another coin into the fountain
And I wished for sweet revenge before I die

The day is ending
I can’t stand to wait around and waste my time
There is no defending
Got to chase these visions terrible from my mind

II
The hills are awash in summer glory
And the river blazes brilliant in the sun
But there’s a page or two that missing form this story
Now it’s never been less clear which side has won

And the day is ending
The dust has settled - it’s quiet on the road
There is no hand for lending
Don’t expect to be repaid for what you're owed

III
There’s a darkness resting somewhere deep within me
There’s a light that shines, but can’t break through
I ain’t been sifting through the ashes of your memory
But it’s true that I often burn for you

And day is ending
They’re packing up the tents and moving on
All those prayers, you’ve been sending
Best keep ‘em to yourself until they’ve gone

IV
I know there’s evil in the wounded heart of my rival
I know too, that he deserves to have his day
As we approach the weary hour of his arrival
Be rest assured that from his path he’ll never stray

And the day is ending
It was over well before it could begin
I can’t keep form grinning
Soon it will stop and start itself again

V
I hear rumours in the whispers of her lovers
She reads fortunes in the tea leaves of her spoon
An odour in the air completely covers
When that sweet magnolia blossom start to bloom

And the day is ending
The sundown is a dazzling array
No sense in pretending
The day is done, so what's there left to say?
