AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD - Fields Of Coal lyrics

rate me

Well I had a dream that I received a prophecy<br />

Predictions and vision to be written by me<br />

But I didn't want them to come true, I was afraid<br />

So I decided to run away<br />

But what could I run to, where could I go?<br />

If I showed my face, all the angry prophets would know<br />

I rand into the wilderness, ran into the cold<br />

I screamed why, oh why did I ever run away?<br />

<br />

Don't disturb those fields of coal<br />

For they may turn to gold<br />

And if they break you, don't let them run away<br />

With your soul<br />

<br />

Knights in white lighting shot out of the remote<br />

They said stand and be reckoned, I begged please, let me go<br />

They said uh-uh, no way, you've gotta come true<br />

We can't let you run away<br />

<br />

But I was taught by my mother not to do as I was bid<br />

I always tried to do good but I was just a bad kid<br />

They kicked me out of their schools, they didn't like what I did<br />

And since then I've always been a little runaway<br />

<br />

Don't disturb those fields of coal<br />

For they may turn to gold<br />

And if they break you, don't let them run away<br />

With your soul<br />

<br />

I had a dream that I was an alien<br />

And in a ship of white diamond I was encircling the sun<br />

But the ship lost control, I got too close, and I couldn't turn away<br />

The force of it's gravity sucked me right in<br />

But it didn't burn solid like the other suns did<br />

Inside was a stage and they wanted me to play<br />

I screamed why, oh why? Would you just let me run away?<br />

<br />

Don't disturb those fields of coal<br />

For they may turn to gold<br />

And if they break you, don't let them run away<br />

With your soul
