It's cold on the mountain
It's cold in the wood My life is a Fountain It's all in my Blood I go down to the River I'll never sleep 'til I'm Gone It's cold on the Mountain I could not leave you alone I am a Messenger This is my Prophecy I'm goin' back To the Black Country I speak for the Million From City to Shire We come from the heartland We walk thru the fire We rise to the measure The line in the Sand It's cold on the Mountain And this is our Land [Chorus] 02. One Last Soul Music by Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa Lyrics by Glenn Hughes
You were born in a Jet Stream
Down in South Caroline Got a Role in the big scheme Now you're ready to shine You're the one last Soul Who can win it You're the one last Soul If you try You're the one last Soul If you live it You're the one last Soul Tell you why And if you feel What you got You can give it One last soul Make me cry You're the one last Soul Who can win it You're the one last Soul If you try Now you burn Like a freight train You're a bird on a wire See you drivin' me insane And I couldnt get higher [Chorus] And when you get What you want Don't regret it One last soul Make me cry You're the one last Soul Who can win it You're the one last Soul And if you feel What you got You can give it One last soul Make me cry You're the one last soul 03. The Great Divide Music by Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa Lyrics by Glenn Hughes
Now you know I'm
Not a Saviour Let me make it Understood And the shirt upon My back is all I own I don't wanna be A loner So I go against the grain And I feel the blood Is rushin' thru my veins I can't fake it And I crucify myself I have been shot down by a stone I'm gonna walk Across the stateline Gotta take a Higher road I'm on the great Divide I'm sanctified Be by your side I hope we don't collide So let me ride The Great Divide It's beautiful I don't live in Superstition Gonna let my Freak Flag Fly Gotta Black Cat Moan my conscience is My guide And I use my inuition There's a liar and thief And I've been to Hell Before you were my friend [Chorus X2] It's beautiful It's beautiful It's beautiful 04. Down Again Music by Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Sherinian Lyrics by Glenn Hughes
I left my House
And the Sound of the City And they call Me a vagabond And my fate Has been decided In the Arc light Before the Dawn I gotta brand new thing I'm gonna kiss my Mojo I'm gonna cure my ill My Caravan Has gone and departed And the Wind Cries in my face I have walked Upon the wasteland Tied and bound To the killing floor I gotta brand new thing I'm gonna kiss Mojo I'm gonna cure my ill I'm Down Again But it's not over I'm Down Again Into a landslide I'm Down Again What does it feel like? I'm Down Again But it's not over It's not over I open my eyes On the vast horizon And I see The coat that I wear But my fate Has been decided In the Arc light Before the Dawn I gotta brand new thing I gotta kiss my Mojo I'm gonna cure my ill [Chorus X2] 05. Beggarman Music & lyrics by Glenn Hughes
You know the state
Mind I'm in How could I get so low? Erase it from my memory the hands of fate They move too slow I'm goin' down so hard to fall I've got to find some peace and I have got to save myself You know my Soul will Be released You Kill me like an Animal you kill me And I won't, no I won't I won't be no Beggar Man I won't be no Beggar Man And I won't, no I won't I won't be no Beggar Man No more, no more... Here come the deep down cryin' pain Now you can taste my blood And I can see the shallow grave My malady misunderstood The Chasm that I lie beneath Has all but took my pride But I've been pulled by gravity, Connected to the storm inside [Chorus X2] 06. Song Of Yesterday Music by Joe Bonamassa, Kevin Shirley Lyrics by Joe Bonamassa, Glenn Hughes, Kevin Shirley
I Hold, True Passion
For many years, I would listen The heavy weight upon my chest Like a wailing wall Code of silence of a dying heart Don't know where the end begins and the truth starts When the hammer falls It falls on you I sit here waiting, waiting I pull back the veil, and I just can't breathe(Uh), and I flyyy away! (ohh, ohh) I fly away Gonna fly us away Like a song of yesterday Freezing night, a oil lamp burns The sun's fire, soon will return Broken castles, the flags still flown Like a living ghost [Chorus] I pull back the veil, and I just can't breathe(Uh), and I flyyyy away! (ohh, ohh) Break it down, so low that you don't know when to fail Try a little harder, now you're the drunk mad man in jail Hmmmm Hmmmm Hmmmm Hmmmm, Hmmmmm Hmm, Hmmmm, Hmmmm, Hmmmm Hmmmm, Hmmmmh I fly away, gonna fly us away! Gonna fly us away, Gonna fly us away I'm reaching out... Like a song of yesterday 07. No Time Music & lyrics by Glenn Hughes
I'm on my way to Avalon
So high above the Sea No Sympathy Cos I'll be gone Now won't you Come with me And I can see the Matador He move without a Sound And I can't stay here anymore I stand on Shaky Ground I open my mind I am healed by the Sun I pull down the Blind And I wait, for the Gun There's no Time My Brother There's no Time To Catch the Light There's no Time Oh children There's no Time To Make it Right There's no Time Lordy Mama There's no Time To Walk a Mile There's no Time I fill my head with Sanity I gotta get control I'm gazin' at the Majesty The Wheels begin to Roll I swear That we'll be lifted To Cities that I know The grateful And the Gifted I've got to let it go... [Chorus X2] 08. Medusa Music & lyrics by Glenn Hughes
You're bound to think that
I'm on the shore From a sea that never came There's no time to find the time I've done what has to be done Voices call the nameless one Crying all of the time Tales of no one in my sleep Stepping out into the night But you said you saw Medusa The one with the head of fire The legend of Medusa Lies in the devil's eyes I've got myself to blame Through talking to your brother Too late to say I'll stay Too late to say I'll bother Take out your thorn and speak Afraid you are to keep Flailling forces fail Now wake before you sleep You said you saw Medusa looking down on you But the legend of Medusa Soon be with you You're bound to think I'm on the shore From a sea that almost came There's no time to find the time I've done what has to be done [X3] I have done [Repeat] Take a good look at my face 09. The Revolution In Me Music by Joe Bonamassa, Derek Sherinian Lyrics by Joe Bonamassa
I seen the tallest mountains
I've drank your finest wine I've been your soldier of fortunes I bend down to my last dime Now its mind over matter Story of legends, you'll see Like the fields of Dunkirk Still the revolution in me I marched my army to New Orleans Burning everything in sight Ides of March are up on me Won't take me without a fight [Chorus] I always handle my business Promptly rolled the dice I'm forty now, my best days are gone Still have fire in my eyes [Chorus] Now it's my mind that matters Still the revolution in me [X2] 10. Stand (At The Burning Tree) Music by Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa Lyrics by Glenn Hughes
I come to my senses
And I feel like I've just been born Gonna tear down The fences And my feet have been shackled and torn And I face my resistance and I stake my flag In the ground They will come in many colors In the silence Breakin' me down I'm ten miles away And I won't be afraid I've been locked in this dream Far too long And I lie awake And the hurt Breaks my fall All alone, in this world With my symphony I Stand, I Stand at the Burning Tree I Stand, oh Lord Won't you justify me? Too long is my sentence I can't let myself Slowly drown There's a sign In the skyline I won't let this curse Take me down I have lived With the shaman Tried to get myself company And I walk With the angels When they come They don't lie to me [Chorus X2] 11. Sista Jane Music by Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa Lyrics by Glenn Hughes
Do you feel
You've been to war? You say you like it But you could not leave Got a multiple ovation You burn the light And you do receive I'll be gone 2morrow Sometimes I gotta Go away Maybe the line is wider baby Gonna take that fast train You have tried To go the distance But you just can't get No release You will fade to black Your mind will crack It's all you're livin' for And I am breakin' please Sweet Sista Jane Sure like the Pain You will remain Sweet Sista Jane You get your faith And your therapy But your mind's spun A lie in your head And you're full Of contradiction You never heard A word that I said I can stay until the mornin' You know the hour Is late Now you're walkin' on a wire Don't it make your big day You have tried To go the distance But you just can't get No release You will fade to black Waitin' for the world to crack It's all you're livin' for And I am breakin' please [Chorus] (You've got your faith and your therapy) (Your mind's spun a lie in your head) You have tried To go the distance But you just can't get No release You will fade to black Your mind will crack It's all you're livin' for And I am breakin' please [Chorus X2] 12. Too Late For The Sun Music by Hughes, Bonamassa, Sherinian, Bonham, Shirley Lyrics by Glenn Hughes
Long day is gone
I feel so hollow I see my spirit It falls from grace I travel on Hope you will follow I'm on the outside I can't get no space Give it to Mother Earth Take it for what it's worth Slowly I lay down this burden beside me And I start to stumble And rise to my feet It's all that I have I cannot wander So hard to swallow It's so bittersweet Give it to Mother Earth Take it for what it's worth It's too late for the Sun [X2] I took my vow But I need some shelter I change the weather And I shield the pain Now I shed my skin Before I get older And I save myself From a hurricane [Chorus] |
