Fields Of Coal – …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
By
Well, I had a dream that I’d received a prophecy Predictions and visions to be written by me Didn’t want them to come true, I was afraid, so I decided to run away
But what could I run to and where could I go? If I showed my face, all the angry prophets would know I ran into the wilderness, ran into the cold I screamed why, oh, why did I ever run away?
Don’t disturb those fields of coal For they may turn into gold And if they break you, don’t let them run away With your soul
Knights in white lighting shot out of the remote They said, “Stand and be reckoned”, I said, “Please, let me go” They said, “Uh-uh, no way, you’ve gotta come true We can’t let you run away”
But I was taught by my mother not to do as I was bid Always tried to do good but I was just a bad kid They kicked me out of their schools, they didn’t like what I did And since then I’ve always been a little runaway
Don’t disturb those fields of coal For they may turn into gold And if they break you, don’t let them run away With your soul
I had a dream that I was an alien And in a ship of white diamond I was encircling the sun The ship lost control, I got too close and I couldn’t turn away
And the force of its gravity sucked me right in But it didn’t burn solid like the other suns did Inside was a stage and they wanted me to play I screamed why, oh, why would you just let me run away?
Don’t disturb those fields of coal For they may turn into gold And if they break you, don’t let them run away With your soul
Don’t disturb those fields of coal For they may turn into gold And if they break you, don’t let them run away With your soul
